A school camp perfect for primary students transitioning to high school

Focusing on building team spirit, Survivor Camp is one of the most beneficial character-building school camps around – and no, we don’t mean on a deserted island. Unlike the TV program, food and shelter are provided and no one gets voted off. Through exhilarating outdoor activities, this school camp for primary & high school students will teach teamwork, problem solving, leadership and resilience.

Over three action-packed days in native Queensland bushland, students form 'tribes' and work together to complete a series of themed challenges. Tribes reflect and debrief after each activity and score their performance based on teamwork, initiative, group participation, group planning and team spirit.
