Thirty cadets, three leaders and one SES support worker enjoyed hanging out in the bush in Grimwade last week for the annual three day orienteering camp.

A little bit of drizzle on Wednesday didn't dampen any of the fun, with senior cadets having to build their own shelters rather than using tents.  

When the skies cleared, the frosts evolved, but the huge camp fire kept everyone toasty warm and was a great meeting place througout the camp.

The main orienteering activity was held on Thursday, with the year 7 (and any new year 8) cadets, enjoying a two hour bush callenge. The year 8's had a four hour challenge and the year 9 & 10 cadets spent nearly six hours in the bush, leaving at 3pm and returning by 9pm.

The orienteering course was great fun, but very challenging, with all cadets enjoying the spaghetti bolognaise that was cooked in camp ovens for them while they were out and about.

Check out the shelters that the year 10 girls and the year 9 & 10 boys made. They were awesome, and they all made camping look really easy! 

Congratulations to all cadets for accepting the challenges of this camp, it is one of the most challenging of camps of the year.

And a great big thanks to Mr Tonai-Moore, Ms Gardiner and Lee for being the camp leaders and to Alan from the local SES for supporting them.
