Outdoor Education Camp

Our Year 10 Outdoor Education students recently headed to the surf coast for an action-packed camp full of challenge, learning, and adventure.

Students completed hikes along the stunning Surf Coast Track, where they were immersed in realistic wilderness first aid scenarios. Working in rescue groups, they responded to situations such as hyperthermia, broken bones, and snake bites. This was a fantastic opportunity for students to apply the practical skills they have been developing in class in a real outdoor environment.

Throughout the camp, students demonstrated impressive resilience, teamwork, and positive attitudes, supporting one another through both physical and mental challenges.

A highlight of the trip was an evening kayaking session along the beautiful Anglesea River. 

After camping overnight in tents in Lorne, students rose early for a surf lesson. This provided a valuable opportunity to compare their previous experiences at Urban Surf with the natural ocean environment, while also practising identifying rip currents and staying safe in the water.

Overall, it was a highly successful camp, with students showing growth in confidence, independence, and their connection to the outdoors.
