We kicked off the year with an amazing City Summer Holiday Camp, bringing together 40 enthusiastic participants from schools across Victoria. Our group stayed at the fantastic CYC City accommodation, a perfect venue for all the important parts of camp – food, socialising and having fun.
During the camp, our participants had the chance to experience the excitement of Big Bash cricket firsthand at the MCG with the Melbourne Stars comfortably defeating the Adeliade Strikers and were inspired by world-class tennis at the Australian Open, plus all the amazing child friendly activations. They also had a blast swimming at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, racing, splashing, and building their water confidence. Mini golf at Melbourne Golf Parks, Albert Park, provided a fun and friendly competition, with plenty of impressive shots along the way.
Our Malmsbury Summer Holiday Camp was packed with exciting activities and participants took part in a wide range of experiences initially designed to bring everyone together including making a team flag, team initiatives, supporting everyone to experience the Giant Swing and working together to build the biggest Crate Stack.
Outdoor adventures continued with kayaking at Golden Point, a giant Slip’n’Slide at camp, and time spent exploring the surrounding bush and river. Students also enjoyed a half-day visit to the swimming pool at Newstead and a memorable excursion to Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary.
The program concluded with a vibrant carnival night to celebrate another hugely successful Malmsbury Holiday Camp where students came together for games, laughter, and karaoke.
As always, a big thanks to the efforts of the school staff who ensured campers could attend and the Doxa staff who make it happen each and every holiday!
