At Emmaus Christian College, camps are integrated into the College Calendar from Year 2 to 12. Class camps provide important experiential learning opportunities as well as strengthening inter-class friendships.
Each year, beginning in Year 2, our students have opportunities to enjoy overnight stays away from home. The students have a chance to experience a variety of trips and experiences that are dependent on the Year level and the educational objective. School Camps are an exciting way for students to learn outside the classroom and develop deeper friendships with their peers and teachers.
Camps provide a myriad of benefits and opportunities including:
- Experiential learning
- Application of knowledge that develops a deeper understanding of classroom assignments
- Opportunities to serve and support underprivileged communities
- Development of team work and communication skills
- Increase self-confidence through personal challenges
- Participate in new and interesting physical activities and sports
- Development of social skills
- Deepen understanding of history, geography and our national heritage
