Camp mentors program to inspire

Castlemaine Steiner School and Kindergarten has introduced a Camp Mentor Program to empower class seven and eight students to develop leadership, confidence and connection by supporting younger campers.

Through hands-on experience, mentors guide and motivate younger children, fostering multi-age friendships and providing valuable support during camp activities.

The program allows mentors to grow by taking on tasks like organising meals, leading activities and learning effective communication with younger students.

With increased responsibilities and freedoms, mentors develop a sense of maturity, creating strong bonds with the younger campers who look up to them as role models. This program not only builds leadership skills but also strengthens the sense of community, making Castlemaine Steiner School a place where students of all ages inspire and support each other.

To find out more about how Castlemaine Steiner School can build your child’s love of learning, book a school tour or enrol today!
