Glentui Camp - Year 7
The Year 7 students had their camp at Glentui on the Wednesday 3rd May through to Friday 5th of May.
On the first day the Year 7 students arrived at Glentui, they all sorted their gear into their bunk rooms. Then were taking up the road to the base of Mt Richardson.
The students made it to about half way up Mt Richardson when it started to drizzle and the call was made to head back down for safety.
That evening the students had the opportunity to enjoy roasting marshmallows.
On the second day the students broke up into their activity groups. They rotated around Archery Tag, Scavenger hunt, Games and the River Walk.
In the evening the students played Minute to Win it, congratulations to all those that finished the challenges.
On the final day, we all cleaned the Glentui Bunkrooms and prepared to leave.
