In Week 6, the Term 1 Horizon students set off on an exciting three-day camp filled with challenges, laughs, and unforgettable experiences. From trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones to building strong connections with each other, every moment was an opportunity to grow.
Some of the activities we did included caving, abseiling, rock climbing, electric fox hunting, the commando course and a fun MasterChef cooking challenge. Every night, our teachers ran activities that kept us laughing and working together. One of the most memorable parts was cooking our own meals, which was a great way to work as a team and learn new skills.
This camp was more than just having fun. It was a chance to live out our Horizon values of Independence, Resilience and Connection by taking responsibility for ourselves, pushing through challenges, and supporting each other in the activities.
Overall, Horizon Camp was an amazing opportunity to grow, try new things and create great memories with friends.
9B Camp Reflection
My favourite activity on camp was caving because it was thrilling, challenging, and completely different from anything I had done before. Exploring underground tunnels and chambers felt like an adventure into a hidden world. The darkness, damp air, and echoing sounds made the experience feel mysterious and exciting. I enjoyed the physical challenge of crawling through tight spaces, climbing over rocks, and navigating narrow passages.
It pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me face my fears, especially the fear of small or dark places. I also found it fascinating to see natural rock formations like stalactites and stalagmites up close. Caving required teamwork, communication, and trust, as we had to work together to find safe paths and help each other through difficult sections. Being underground without phones or distractions made me feel present and connected to the moment. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that taught me confidence and resilience.
