Integral to the Townshend curriculum are the outdoor education camps. Each year level departs for a three day camp each year. where the focus is on the development of different physical skills and strengths and gives students exposure to a range of outdoor leisure activities.

Rain or shine, the camps provide a wonderful opportunity for participants to develop teamwork and positive group dynamics, personal confidence, leadership, joy of the outdoors resilience and courage. Of course there’s also the fun of seeing the teachers taking risks and trying out new things!

Each year in winter students also have the opportunity to sign up for a ski-trip. It’s a popular event: they break out the skis and snow-boards and are accompanied by qualified winter sport instructors so even beginners are catered for.
