School Camping Program

Our camping program is carefully planned to enable students to gain confidence and independence to stay away from home.  

Prep and Grade 1 - Late in the year students participate in an extending day at school. Fun activities are planned for the day, students have dinner at school, get dressed into their PJs and then watch a movie. Parents pick them up at 8pm to take them home to sleep.

Grade 2 & 3 - Students camp for two nights at nearby Gundiwindi Lodge in Silvan. All students are encouraged to sleep at camp. On the second evening grade 2 parents may attend our games night prior to saying goodnight and returning home.

Grade 4/5/6 - Each year students will participate in a different camping experience. In 2020, students went to Bayplay for a beach camp. In 2019, we went to City CYC for an urban camp. 2021s camp will be a farm/adventure camp.
