The Ballarat Courier, 1988 BLAST FROM THE PAST DAMASCUS ARCHIVES Love it or hate it, Year 9 camp is certainly an adventure. While some of our more ‘mature’ alumni may think that today’s Year 9 camp experience is nothing compared to the 10-day test of character that was Year 10 Outward Bound, it remains a challenging and rewarding experience for our students. Back in 1988, a group of Year 9 students from SHC found themselves the subject of newspaper headlines when they failed to arrive at their camp site on the very first day. The group had been on a seemingly endless hike to the banks of the Aire River and when unable to locate their campsite by nightfall, had decided to down packs and sleep in the scrub. As luck would have it, the weather was good, so tents were not required - the young women and their accompanying teachers simply dropped their packs, rugged up and attempted to get as good a night’s sleep as possible in the circumstances. Unbeknownst to them, the police had been notified and the dawn search was successful with all found safe and well. Resilience was high amongst the cheerful group, as despite their eventful night under the stars, they were able to continue the camp, coming home at the end of the week with a story for the ages. 13
