The Year 7-9 Academic Elite Program students went for their inaugural camp in Dwellingup. This bush location served as the backdrop for a range of team-building and character-building activities. Students strategised and battled it out during archery tag, put their heads together to construct rafts that could float in a river, and embarked on a forest walk in the world’s only Jarrah forest to gain insights into invasive plant species.
A highlight for many was the night walk where they were not allowed any form of torches, glow sticks, or even the lights of their watches. With only the stars to guide them back to base camp, all six groups exhibited both courage and teamwork and found their way back! As the camp wrapped up after two days, the students left Dare Adventures with new friends, new skills, unforgettable experiences and memories to cherish!
