Activities

Surfing - An activity that students have long said was the best on the Year 8 Camp is being brought back to life in Year 10. Even with cooler temperatures students will be well rugged up in their steamer wetsuits for a clean session of surfing.
Hiking - A leisurely walk through the pristine sand dunes and around the many small lakes of Little Dip Conservation park. The experience is a great way of exploring a new environment, bonding with peers and being at peace with the world around them.
Caving Tour & Adventure Caving - A more relaxed pace activity, students will tour around the Naracoorte Caves and participate in an educational session about the Megafauna fossils. For the adventurous ones, there will be an opportunity to go on a guided underground tour deeper into the rock formations.
Fishing - Learn to cast a rod and try your luck at catching some fish off the Robe jetty, a beautiful location with picturesque views.
