A quirky and much-loved tradition, the bucket lunch consists of wraps filled with leftovers and bits of everything. Despite the seemingly random ingredients, these wraps always taste surprisingly great, offering a delightful and nourishing break during the day’s activities.

Hair braiding has become a cherished ritual during Trek. It’s a fun and bonding activity that helps students manage their hair in the wilderness. The braids often become a symbol of the camaraderie and shared experiences of the journey.

Versatile and indispensable, Crocs have earned their place as the go-to camp shoes. Ideal for river crossings and providing comfort around the campsite, they are a practical and memorable part of the Trek gear.

A profound aspect of Trek is the Solo experience, where students embark on a two-night journey. During Solo, students venture off on their own, exploring the wilderness and spending reflective time alone. This challenging yet transformative experience encourages introspection, resilience and a deeper connection with nature. Students keep a Solo diary during this time, documenting their thoughts, reflections and personal growth, providing a meaningful keepsake of their journey.

Throughout Trek, students maintain a Trek Journal, recording their daily thoughts and experiences. Sometimes, they need to bulk fill entries if they haven’t had time to write for a few days, capturing the highs, lows and insights gained along the way.

Friendship bracelets are a cherished tradition where students add beads as they achieve key Trek milestones. These bracelets symbolise their journey together and the achievements they’ve accomplished as a team.

More than just a day of rest, Community Days are an integral part of Trek where students engage in bush showers, clean equipment, and participate in group activities like a ‘fashion show’. These days foster teamwork, camaraderie and a sense of community spirit, reinforcing the bonds formed during the adventure.
