WILDERNESS CAMPS
Total Adventures invites your school to take part in one of our unique Wilderness Camps. Students are nurtured through a balanced involvement in the activities and camp life creating a greater awareness of themselves and other people.
WHY CHOOSE A WILDERNESS CAMP OVER ANY OTHER STYLE OF CAMP?
WILDERNESS CAMPS Wilderness Camps rely on group cooperation while fostering a sense of interdependence as participants explore their attitude towards themselves and their peers. The camps provide students with the opportunity to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills while exploring their own potential. Students become proactive in a number of different situations that involve trust, decision making and recognising the individual differences that make each of us unique.
CAMP PROGRAMMES Individual programs can be designed based on the goal of the camp. Activities that lend themselves to relevant issues can be implemented to get the most out of each camp. Wilderness camps may also centre around one specific adventure activity.
The level of the camp activities varies according to age and experience of the group. Students are encouraged to participate in all activities and to use peer support as a means of motivation for others. Total Adventures practices the philosophy of Challenge by Choice and uses one on one support to assist students who want to do some of the more challenging activities, but need that extra support. Students also participate in the daily routines around camp that have just as strong an impact on individuals as the activities.
“I WISH TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THANKS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL AND VERY POLISHED CAMP PROGRAM YOU RAN FOR OUR YEAR 8 STUDENTS. DURING THE FIVE DAYS OF OUR CAMP I OBSERVED QUALITY PRESENTATIONS OF ALL ACTIVITIES. NOT ONLY WERE THESE ACTIVITIES CHALLENGING AND EDUCATIONAL BUT ALSO GEARED TO GAIN MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION AND ENJOYMENT FOR ALL INVOLVED.” WEST MORETON ANGLICAN COLLEGE
ACCOMMODATION The only way to really experience this magnificent region is through camping. But camping does not mean being uncomfortable. Students sleep in four man tents provided by Total Adventures and use a range of modern camping equipment.
CATERING One of the main features of any camp is the food. It is the one item that is remembered the most. Out in the wilderness where there is plenty of fresh air, students’ appetites seem as big as the outdoors. Total Adventures uses a qualified chef while on camp so catering is well balanced, nutritional and there is plenty of it.
