Camps
The camps program at Euroa Secondary College offers students experiences that enhance their understanding of the curriculum while supporting their growth as individuals and active members of our community. These camps provide opportunities for students to engage in activities they may not otherwise have the chance to experience.
Euroa Secondary College encourages all students to participate in school camps and excursions, as they provide memorable experiences, enable first-hand learning and provide opportunities for students to become better acquainted. Students in all year levels have the opportunity to attend camp, with each experience tailored to support their personal and social development.
