What a great camp experience Arbury Park was, it was packed with 3 days of hiking, orienteering, searching for evidence, team activities, shelter building and so much more.
The rain tried to dampen spirits but with true Ardtornish style the kids adjusted and made Arbury Park 2022 one of the best camps ever!
The great manners and positive attitudes from all the Ardtornish students were noticed by all.
Thankyou to Erin’s Mum, Melissa for making the yummy Arbury Park cookies.
