Year 9 Camp – Kenilworth

In early September, 130 Year 9 students headed into the wilderness (Kenilworth!) for their survival camp. This camp is an integral part of the Rite Journey where students are pushed out of their comfort zones, and made to rely on those who could support them.

Throughout the 4-day camp, the students were challenged through high rope activities, mountain biking, hiking through a mountain range, cooking their own breakfasts/lunches and dinners, as well as be at peace for a duo/ solo camp out. They were also given the opportunity to solidify their friendships in their Rite Journey groups as well as enjoy a camp fire at the end of their day.

The Rite Journey team and I were extremely proud of how the Year 9s were able to be resilient through the challenges of camp as well as how they supported one another. If you get the chance, have a chat to a Year 9 student, as there are so many stories of pride from accomplishing the challenge of Year 9 camp!
