Camp Activities

The Anglesea camp offers some

really exciting and adventurous

activities.

These activities

include……………..

Students are harnessed then

attached to the swing. A swinger is

hauled by their team up to 16 metres

and then they release themselves by

a special trigger mechanism. Once

released, adrenalin, excitement and

achievement will take over.

Giant Swing

Students are taught the basics of skating. They progress from sitting on the board through to learning the basics of rolling in on our 1 metre fun box. There is quick progression through multiple stages to get the students to attain the confidence to challenge the ramps. All levels and skills are provided to and are provided with knee/elbow pads, wrist guards and helmets.

Skateboarding

Mountain biking is run by a qualified instructor

who will teach children bike handling skills,

through a series of activities and obstacle

courses, as well as providing the opportunity to

explore the local environment.

Mountain Biking

Low Ropes

The Low Ropes course offers challenges

for all abilities and ages. The qualified

instructor will present the group with either

personal challenges, team challenges or

whole group challenges.

Low Ropes

Beach volleyball will be held in an

outdoors area, surrounded by sand.

The students will learn basic skills and

will be split into two teams to play a

volleyball match.

Beach Volleyball

Students will be taken back in time to hear

the story of The Inverlochy, a cargo ship that

ran around the reef off Anglesea and found

occupants having to find their way to shore.

The students are put into teams of ‘family

groups’ who survived the wreck, and are

given maps and task sheets. In a set time,

teams collect objects lost at sea and

complete challenges to ensure their survival.
