Three days of community, connection, and campfires.

In the last week of July, our IB Diploma students headed off for our annual IBDP Camp. The camp is an opportunity for students to engage in CAS activities (creativity, activity, service) as well a taking a much deserved break after the mid-year exam period before heading into the final stretch.

Over the three days, students participated in a variety of activities including laser skirmish, cooking competitions, the Challenge Hill obstacle course, and bonfire-toasted marshmallows well into the night.

We also hosted our inaugural IBDP Community Dinner, where students invited all Diploma teachers to a student planned and produced feast! There was Chinese Hot Pot, Chicken 65, spaghetti marinara, rice balls, and for dessert, apple crumble and chocolate pudding with ice cream. Every dish was prepared with care and collaboration, and the result was clean plates, full bellies, and a small mountain of dishes.

This camp is a tradition within the IB Diploma, a chance for our hard working students to come together as a community to celebrate their progress, and to create connections that will last well beyond graduation.
