On Wednesday, 4th November, 149 Year 6 students and 17 teachers from Heathdale Christian College in Werribee arrived at The Summit for three days packed with challenge, teamwork and a whole lot of energy!
After everyone had settled in and enjoyed lunch, the coaches kicked off the afternoon by sharing The Summit's Five Keys.
THE FIVE KEYS
- Have Fun
- Play All In
- Make Lots of Mistakes
- Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
- Don't Go Home Wondering "What If"
Next up was the Target, Stretch and Super Stretch goal-setting strategy, giving every student a plan for tackling the challenges ahead.
Target — what you know you can do.
Stretch — what you think you can do.
Super Stretch — what you think is impossible.
ACTIVITIES & TRIBE NAMES
With ten tribes heading out at once, every corner of the site came alive from the very first rotation!
Across the three days, the tribes took on:
- Summit Window
- Laser Skirmish
- Leap of Faith
- The Cave
- Giant Swing
- Snowy River Challenge
- High Wire
- Orienteering
- Sky Bridge
- Scavenger Hunt
The ten tribes for camp were:
- Untitled
- Timmy Tuff Toasties
- kFCls
- Canadian Burger Patties
- Caseoh Hunters
- Golden Goats
- John Pork
- Leeo Liono
- Summit Survivors
- Cheese B Quackers
By dinner, the GMICs (Great Moments in Camp) were rolling in, as students called out the great things they had seen each other do. The Heathdale teaching team then led the evening program.
DAY TWO – INTENTIONS & THE MONSTER COURSE
Day Two began with Morning Intentions and Gratitude, followed by a Large Group Game to wake everyone up.
The tribes then worked their way through another full day of rotations, and after afternoon tea, it was time for one of The Summit's biggest challenges…
THE MONSTER COURSE
All ten tribes threw themselves at the legendary Monster Course, and the mud certainly flew!
Untitled claimed the win, with Timmy Tuff Toasties in second and kFCls rounding out the top three.
FINAL DAY – RESULTS & TRIBE VOTES
The last day brought the final two activity rotations, before each tribe voted for the teammate who best showed up for others and lived the Five Keys all camp long.
Camp came to a close with a final debrief, a group photo and the long-awaited results, with Untitled adding a Snowy River Challenge win and Canadian Burger Patties topping the Scavenger Hunt.
