The grade 6 students participate in two
short camps over the course of the school year. The first, is located in
Marysville
(http://www.campmarysville.org.au)
located about an hour from school. This camp offers a range of activities
designed to build resilience and develop confidence and team work. This year,
students took part in canoeing, cooking, bike riding, hiking and climbing. At
night, a campfire was lit and we told stories and sang songs. On returning to
school, students designed a survey to give feedback to the teachers on what they
thought about the camp and whether they would recommend it for future years.
There was an overwhelming endorsement of Camp Marysville with many saying that
it was their favourite camp so far.

Bike EducationAs part of our Bike Education program, Grade 5‘s attend a four day Bike Education camp. This will provide students with the opportunity to put into practice the safety and skill development they have acquired during our school based Bike Education unit. In 2011, it was the first time Anderson’s Creek Primary school had been able to provide a camp for Grade 5 students. This camp has been very popular and a great success ever since.
