Camp - Hiking and Orienteering

On our second day of camp we embarked on the big hike up to Sunrise Hut. All students made it to the summit and we then wound down the River Forks track back towards camp. It was great to have some parents come out to join us in pushing ourselves physically and mentally. Having Mr Hocking was an extra bonus too!
The next day we also practised using compass bearings to find our way through the Swamp Loop track. This is probably the closest you can feel to getting lost in the bush in a controlled situation as sooner or later, you will pop out on the track. The students were very accurate with their compass bearings and all came out very close to the target meeting spot. Mud, spiders and cutty grass were a real highlight.
