Outward Bound Camp

On April 29 to May 4, Brenda, along with 2 other teachers took 40 Year 6 students (including Jordan) to the Outward Bound camp in Loitoktuk. This camp is situated on the hills of Kilimanjaro with one of the most spectacular settings I have ever seen (apart from sunsets at the lake!!). The setting itself as beautiful, but the Outward Bound Course… I must admit was the hardest thing I have ever done…it was boot camp!!! Long distance running and circuit training at 5:45 am, cold water in buckets for showers, many hours between meals, rock climbing straight up with ropes, 20km hikes to set up camp, grueling team challenges and peeing in a holes…oh my gosh…it truly separated the men from the boys!!!!

Despite crying, vomiting and phone calls home at 3am ….by the end all students sat around the fire, hugged, cried and didn’t want to leave. A truly growing experience for all…….Sheraton Hotel next year?
