Year 7 Camp 

Subject to change

The camp is the first major event for the students, and it allows for the positive introduction to Year 7 and shared experiences. It is also key to developing relationships with wellbeing staff that will guide the students through their first year at Senior School, and a great way to make new and lasting friendships with peers.

The camp will be held on the Mornington Peninsula. The students and staff will be based at Lord Somers Camp where they will participate in a range of activities including kayaking, initiative games, SUP (stand-up paddle boarding) and beach activities.

Students will also have one night in tents at the Balnarring Foreshore Reserve. This will be run by the Lord Somers instructors and supported by Ruyton staff.

Students will be introduced to basic camping skills including setting up tents and use of Trangia stoves to cook dinner.
