Year 7 Camp Adventure at Camp Rumbug!
In week 5, our Year 7 students embarked on an unforgettable three-day adventure at Camp Rumbug! From the moment they arrived, excitement filled the air as they took on a range of thrilling activities—canoeing, giant swings, raft building, and even a mud run that left everyone covered in mud but with the biggest smiles!
Students worked together to build shelters, mastered the art of knot-tying, and put their deep-thinking skills to the test to achieve team goals. Evenings were just as special, with time spent sharing stories and laughter around the campfire, discovering world flags, with the orienteering course with a “passport of the world.”
Each morning kicked off with wake-up music and dance, setting the tone for another fun-filled day. Of course, no camp experience would be complete without some playful antics—especially attempts to push teachers off their canoes into the lake! And let’s not forget the special moments spent spotting kangaroos in their natural habitat.
It was truly a camp to remember, filled with adventure, teamwork, and endless fun. What an incredible way to bond, learn, and create lasting memories!
Here some students feedback:
“I really liked the food they gave and the activities like the leap of faith and the giant swing were my most favourite activities.”
“The activities because they were really fun and the next time i see a giant swing or the leap of faith, I’ll be excited instead of scared because I’ve already done them”
“Making new friends and exploring during recess, talking to new people, and talking to people late at night. And that’s what made my experience memorable. Doing something fun because I’ll never be this age again.”
“the mud run was one of them because I got to break out of my comfort zone and do something I would’ve never done if it weren’t part of the camp”
“The most memorable part of camp was having new experiences and seeing new things because looking at the bush and feeling the breeze is really calming.”
“The most memorable part of camp for me was definitely spending time with my friend. We had a lot of good conversations, especially when we were hanging out after activities. It made the camp experience even more fun and memorable.””
“I enjoyed the giant swing the most because the feeling of sudden zero-gravity when you pull the string give the BEST dopamine effect, and will be forever replayed in my hard times” “I enjoyed the most was the mud run i found it really amusing because we got run around the camp covered in mud and climb ropes, crawl in the mud and heaps more!”
