Over the three days, we took part in three physically demanding, but extremely insightful fitness classes, reinforcing the fact that although we may wish we were elite athletes, we most certainly were not. Aching muscles were not the only thing we took away from our camp, we were also exposed to five lectures, on topics including recovery, athlete psychology, and a presentation from a professional swimmer, Jarrod Killey.

Due to the fast pace nature of each day, visiting the Dining Hall to refuel our bodies was always an excitement. This high class facility was stocked with numerous nutritional and delicious foods, which we were able to enjoy alongside some of Australia’s rising athletes. 

Overall this was a once in a lifetime experience. Eating, sleeping, learning and playing just like AIS athletes was an opportunity which each student can take knowledge from to apply to, not only our HSC studies, but our personal life in general.

The 2016 PDHPE class would like to thank the College for the opportunity and Mr Aschroft and Mrs Caffery for giving up their long weekend to accompany us on our journey.
