School Camps
School camps or tours for students are a valuable aspect of a fully rounded program of development for children. The aims of our Camp program are:
Every effort is made to keep costs down while providing safe, interesting and suitable opportunities. Details are provided well in advance so that they can be budgeted for over a period of time.
- to provide educational experiences unable to be catered for at school, eg, visit to local industries, places of historical interest, etc.
- to help instill an appreciation of the natural environment of the area being visited.
- to provide opportunities for physical development, eg, hiking, general fitness, outdoor activities.
- to provide opportunities for social interaction and to give experience in living and co-operating in a group.
- to help build each child’s sense of independence.
- to provide the challenge of coping with different surroundings and the opportunity of displaying initiative and responsibility in different settings.
- to provide children with a range of experiences that can be a focus for classroom curriculum activities.
