The experienced of being in an Alpine region during winter is such a wondrous adventure for our students! At Bayside, we run a Mt Hotham snow camp for Year 9 & 10 students every second year, and for most of the students, it is their first time seeing and being at the snow. We run a 6 month fitness and snow safety program leading up to camp, so that the students have the best possible understanding and knowledge of what they will experience, but the reality is that actually being there, teaches the students so much more than any fitness or theory session. Students have to overcome various challenges, and learning a brand new skill from scratch, either skiing or snowboarding, can be very humbling. This, in turn, lets us see some of the fantastic personal qualities in our students, as they support and uplift one another, and continue to encourage each other from learning through to having consistent success! Our students always say that snow camp is the best camp that they have been on.
