CHALLENGE & FORMATION
"We believe camp is a purposeful week of forming character and confidence in students outside of their normal environment."
With such an amazing environment and so much at our finger tips we offer more than a tick the box experience. Students challenge themselves and reflect on the experiences they shared throughout the day, offering encouragement to each other as they learn to value working together as a team.
GV staff were terrific and looked after us. Food was great as was flexibility of staff around student pickiness. Everyone was full and nourished. Activities were terrific and well run. We had a great time. – Toorak College

All staff were friendly and flexible. They had a great approach to the kids, especially encouraging the resistant or nervous kids. Great to do some activities that we have not done previously. Thanks for being flexible when the weather conditions changed.
