"Students DIVE IN to their first camp experience with this program designed to support the transition of staying overnight at camp as well as offering a unique interaction with our local intertidal ecosystem. Students will enjoy team building games, problem solving activities and conquer the low ropes while targeting key elements from the General Capabilities – Personal and Social Capability - strand of the Australian Curriculum such as recognising emotions, becoming confident and resilient, appreciate diverse perspectives, working collaboratively and develop reflective practices. On day two, they are presented with a call-to-action regarding the local intertidal ecosystem.
