On the weekend of 4-6 September, Tilda and Elise from Princes Hill Secondary College and Maya and Hamish from Mount Alexander College joined 16 other students aged 15-17 at Camp Getaway for a weekend of learning. Many thanks to Chris Richardson for driving Maya and Hamish, and to Jo Kwok from Rotary Brighton for assisting with transport for Tilda and Elise.

RYPEN focusses on helping participants develop their potential through a mixture of lecture-style sessions and adventure-based learning. They are
encouraged to: learn to understand themselves and others, and to manage their relationships, lives, work, and learning more effectively.
RYPEN provides an experience of ideas, problems and social experiences which helps each in forming their own values and moral standards and allows them to broaden their horizons culturally, socially and academically. Challenge by choice is an important aspect of the program experience.
