Calvary Camping Program

Our Calvary camping program commences in Year 4 and culminates with our week-long Leadership camp at the conclusion of Year 11. Camping experiences provide authentic and poignant moments for students to develop friendships and cultivate their own positive and powerful character traits. Our camping program is thoughtfully crafted to provide students with opportunities for personal growth and critical reflection that is appropriate to their age and ability.
