Camps Week 2025

Wodonga Middle Years College CAMPS WEEK PROGRAM aims to provide students the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with peers and WMYC staff while experiencing unique activities and destinations.

The Camps Week program aims to:

• Improve physical and mental health through development of interest in outdoor recreation as a non-competitive and individually fulfilling activity.
• Provide opportunities for students to develop skills of co-operative living, leadership, social responsibility, and social acceptance.
• Provide opportunities for students to develop a sense of personal involvement and fulfilment and to be part of a caring community, as well as to interact with and be of service to the wider community.
• Provide opportunity to develop existing relationships and form new ones.
• Encourage students to develop a full understanding and appreciation of the natural environment and encourage them to become comfortable in “living with nature”.
• Provide opportunities for students to develop an understanding of their own capabilities and limitations of others, through a variety of experiences in the “outdoors”.
• Provide opportunities for students to develop the attitudes and skills associated with self-reliance, especially in an outdoor situation; to develop self confidence and self-esteem through activities conducted in both urban and natural environments.
• Provide opportunity for students to express and extend their individual talents and have these recognised in a supportive way.
• Provide mental and emotional satisfaction and practical benefit from exploring and developing an understanding of healthy risk-taking activities.
