What an absolute pleasure it was to welcome the students and teachers of Templeton P.S. to The Summit for their three-day camp! From the very first introductions in the Lodge, the energy was buzzing, and it was clear this crew was ready for laughter, courage, and unforgettable memories.
The Five Keys
- Have Fun
- Play All In
- Make Lots of Mistakes
- Get Uncomfortable
- Don’t Go Home Wondering ‘What If’
Activities & Tribe Names
Each group transformed into a tribe with their own unique identity:
- Butter Chicken Coke Zero
- Gifties
- KFD
- 13 Wombats
- Fantastic Five
- Jimmy Frog Stumps
- Chicken Poglets
The activities challenged every tribe to set Targets, Stretches, and Super Stretches and give their best effort:
Abseil • Giant Swing • High Wire • Bag Blitz • Laser Skirmish • Snowy River Challenge • Photo Scavenger Hunt • and of course…the Epic, Gross, Smelly, Muddy Mega Monster Course!
Day One — Kicking Things Off
From the very first rotations, students were stepping outside their comfort zones and backing each other with cheers, laughter, and encouragement. GMICs (Great Moments in Camp) quickly filled up, celebrating courage and kindness all around.
Day Two — Rising to the Challenge
Tribes took on more rotations, building confidence and teamwork with each new activity. The highlight? Tackling the Snowy River Challenge and then gearing up for the Monster Course , two laps of mud, obstacles, and determination. The second lap revealed the true power of teamwork and resilience!
Final Day — Finishing Strong
On the last morning, tired legs didn’t stop Templeton from giving their all in the final activities. With hearts full of gratitude, they finished camp stronger, braver, and closer as a tribe family.
