Canoeing
- teamwork, cooperation, coordination -

Canoeing is one of the great school camp traditions. Coolamatong Canoeing sessions are conducted on flat undemanding water either in 'Duck Arm' or Mason Bay. Sessions are pitched to meet the experience and age of the campers.

A canoeing session at Camp Coolamatong focuses on three important aspects:

1. Developing safety awareness in campers as they prepare and participate in the activity;

2. Teaching basic paddling skills that enable campers to confidently manouvre their boat;

3. Building a spirit of cooperation and teamwork within an atmosphere of enormous fun as they play a variety of games and complete various challenges.

Sometimes dolphins can swim in and around canoes in the bay, which is an amazing experience for anyone.
