Middle School – Douglas Scrub / Aquatics Camp 2021
The Middle School students attended their camp last week at Douglas Scrub. The students had three days and 2 nights of adventure, participating in mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, rock wall climbing, high ropes, snorkelling and beach games.
A big thank you to our excellent parent helpers in Liz Briggs, Craig Hall and Allan Smailes. We greatly appreciate you giving up your time to support our staff and Middle School students.
Thank you to the Wilderness Escape team for looking after everyone and conducting all the fun activities.
Finally, a huge thank you to Andrea Broadbent and Sally Paparella for all your efforts while on camp.
From the photos and comments below, it is very evident that everyone had a great time. Please be sure to look at the images and video in the several “Sways” below.
