About the camp
At the Daylesford/Kimbolton Camp, students swap the classroom for the river and the bush. They paddle canoes, walk trails and camp out together, taking on challenges that build fitness and teamwork.
For many boys it’s a first real taste of what they can do outdoors, and the confidence they find there comes back to school with them.
