It was Wednesday the 9th of May and we knew we were in for something amazing when four buses rocked up at The Summit and dropped off 220 year 8’s from Box hill Secondary.

By the end of the day we had worked out what camp was all about and what it meant to have fun and play all in. We were curio

One of my sons has an amazing friend called Joel. Joel and his family live on a farm just out of town and he is constantly creating hilarious and challenging outdoor adventures.

You name it, Joel is out there giving it a go. As you'd expect, his physical competency causes Joel to be a total boss on the

The Summit had the pleasure of having Taylors Lakes come and spend three awesome days with us.

We loved having Lyndale at The Summit last week. After arriving and settling in, it was games games games! Everywhere we looked there were games being played and boy did everyone want to be the winner. One of the games we started with was 50 up, here we got our first taste of group cooperation and team work. It wasn’t a bad effort finishing with 83 on the third 4th attempt!

You have an incredible power to alter the character and behaviour of the ones you meet. The ultimate question however, is are you using your powers for good? Are the ones being affected, changed for the better or for the worse? No pressure. Something powerful to consider that will allow you to feel more like your powers are b

What a fabulous three day camp it was with Heatherton Christian College year 7/ 8 and their teachers. Timmay was excited to be back on camp with Mamma G after a few years on other programs. The camp theme of team building, perseverance and resilience was shown as soon as each tribe began their camp. Each tribe came together to complete an initiative and rotations. After the first two rotations, the tribe chose their tribe names, forming their own identity for camp. Level up,
