Class 4 and 5 Camp

4/11/2020

 
Picture
Within the shadow of the caldera, adventure was afoot for Classes 4 and 5 as they experienced all Tyalgum Ridge Retreat had to offer at their joint camp, last week. The three days were full of activity and complete immersion within our amazing natural environment, nestled between the beautiful Border Ranges and majestic Wollumbin.

We were certainly kept extremely busy, with high ropes, low ropes and a flying fox; waterfall walks, rock-hopping and canoeing amongst the water lilies; finding our aim and balance with archery and mountain bike riding (not at the same time!); not to mention meeting the Wildlife Twins and their menagerie of animals and baking fresh damper on the campfire.
 

After all that activity, the true highlight of this experience was the opportunity to meet new friends, to cooperate together across classes, and of course to have laughs and fun along the way! Below is some camp-inspired poetry from our Class 5 students.

Dark mountains looming
Mount Wollumbin is shining
Clouds are moving fast
