These experiences provide the perfect opportunity for students to challenge themselves, explore new environments, and embrace a spirit of adventure.
Early Years Camp Program
To help prepare students for the Primary 4-6 camp, we host special events for our younger students in the Early Years Camp Program. These include a Prep-1 Breakfast and a 2-3 Big Night In, providing an opportunity for students to experience key elements of camp life in a supportive and familiar environment. These events are designed to help students bond with their peers, build lasting friendships, and gain confidence in a camp setting. The Big Night In, in particular, is a memorable highlight, featuring fun games, engaging activities, and a night of connection that fosters a sense of community and excitement for the larger camps ahead. Through these experiences, our students are gradually introduced to camp life, ensuring they are ready and excited for the Primary 4-6 camp.
