51СʪÃÃ’s camping program offers exciting adventures for students while fostering friendships and community bonds. Students step away from campus to enjoy moments of reflection, prayer, and worship in the midst of God’s creation. Carefully curated, our camps serve as a pathway for spiritual and personal growth throughout the years at the College.
Developing through adventure
From the excitement of the extended evening in Year 2, College Hall sleepover in Year 3 and their first real camp experience in Year 4, students will experience a wide range of activities, locations, communities and experiences every year, culminating in a Year 11 leadership opportunity where the students organise, manage and run the camp for Year 8 on their unforgettable MAD adventure. We have camps at every year level, ensuring students continuously develop and grow through these diverse experiences.
Spiritual development is a key feature along with the students’ individual growth where self-confidence, resilience, respect, self-motivation and responsibility can develop. We aim to educate the whole child at 51СʪÃà and camps are a great opportunity to build on top of school programs.
