The Year 8 Outdoor Education Camp at Camp Somerset on the Colo River has proven to be one of the most formative experiences of the year. Immersed in natural surroundings, students stepped away from everyday distractions to take on a series of outdoor challenges. Over three days, the boys participated in physically and emotionally demanding activities including hiking, canoeing, high ropes and team-based problem-solving tasks, all requiring cooperation, courage and perseverance.
The camp offered more than adventure—it also provided valuable moments for reflection and connection. Staff observed students encouraging one another, facing fears and developing newfound confidence. Many returned with a stronger sense of self, deeper bonds with peers and a greater appreciation for the power of community.
