[Back to
Main Survivor Page]
The camp is based on the hit
reality TV show - 'SURVIVOR'. The camp is open for a limited number
of Scouts and Guides from all over Victoria.
We only allow 1 or 2 members
from each group to participate and in doing so every participant
is guaranteed to make new friends. You can register
to be a part of the next Survivor-Camp by following the link at
the bottom of this page.
The camp runs for approximately
4 or 5 nights and has been held at Clifford Park Scout Activity
Park in Wonga Park (in Eastern Melbourne) for the past two years.
The camp cost is approximately $80 which covers all camp fees
and food for 5-6 days as well as extras such as a team bandana
and any prizes that we couldn't get donated.
Just Standing Around - Our
Patented Pole Challenge
| The participants start
off the camp by being split into two tribes. It is in these
tribes that participants will compete in a range of different
challenges including relays, construction, puzzles, quizzes
and endurance challenges. The challenges will be under one
of two categories - Reward or Immunity. In Reward Challenges
tribes compete against each other to win luxury food items
or camp equipment. In Immunity Challenges tribes compete
to gain Immunity which means there tribe is immune from
Tribal Council. |

Just Hangin' Around |
The losing tribe of
Immunity Challenges must go to Tribal Council where they
will vote off one member of their tribe. This continues
until the tribes merge and then compete against each other
for personal immunity. One by one the tribe becomes smaller
until there are 2 people left and a winner is announced
(format may change slightly from year to year). |
|
The overall winner
of the camp receives a trophy as well as a spot on the
perpetual "3CV Survivor Shield". The runner-up
also receives a trophy and both winner and runner up also
receive a prize.
As well as the major
prizes, there are also many other opportunities to win
personal prizes during the camp, such as CD vouchers,
confectionery and small cash prizes.

This years prizes included
a Hike tent worth $150 for the major prize, $25 in 5c pieces
for the runner up and a $25 music gift voucher and assorted
cash prizes (5c bags) for some of the personal prizes. Everyone
also went home with their own team bandanna and a show bag
including fun size chocolate bars, vouchers for Hungry Jacks
and McDonalds, a CD containing photos taken over the duration
of the camp and a badge that we reckon you could put on
your uniform (if everyone did then you would be able to
recognise fellow competitors from other years!).

SUZANNE:
From Friday 27th September to Wednesday
2nd October I participated in a Survivor Camp. It was a copy
of the TV show Survivor. Only two Guides or Scouts from each
unit were able to attend and you can only ever do it once.
It was a great opportunity to meet lots of Guides and Scouts.
The camp was being run by the 3rd Croydon Venturers.
The six days were fun packed and full of excitement. One of
my favourite challenges was "Challenge Valley", which
was an obstacle course with a lot of different challenges and
a lot of mud. It was a lot of fun, but my favourite day was
Tuesday the 1st of October. In the morning we had a water fight
where we were drenched by a hose then we had flour thrown at
us. It was a lot of fun. After lunch, once we were showered
we had the best activity of the whole camp. We got a partner
and a plate full of chocolate, strawberry and caramel topping,
and we painted each other's face and hair with it. Once we were
painted we had to find a marshmallow that was hidden in a bucket
of flour without using our hands, we were caked. Then we had
to eat a plate of jelly without using our hands, it was good
fun. I also enjoyed standing on a pole for four and a half hours.
It is probably the best camp I have ever been on. I had a great
time. |
Does That Taste Good? |

Now Here's What You Do... |
Now THAT is Gross Food |
RHONDA:
Never in my life have I made so many friends, Never in my life
have I had so much fun in a couple of days. From the challenges
to the company to the dodgy showers and the falling down tents
have I ever enjoyed my self so much. My favourite challenge
when I went in 2001 was when we had to make up songs. Our songs
were soooooo COOL! If I ever have another chance to go I would
definitely take it. I strongly recommend the opportunity of
attending any of the 3CV survivor camps in the future I strongly
suggest that u take it up, go along and be guaranteed a good
time.
C ya at the next Survivor Camp! RHONDA |
BEC:
I went on the 2002 survivor camp and it was pretty fun and my
favourite thing would have had 2 have been voting people out
because it didn't use much brain power and overall it was good
and I really liked the standing on poles challenge - that was
awesome! |
Oh the shame... |
Congratulations, You're
Still Alive, Here's a Showbag! |
TREVOR:
From an organisers point of view survivor was totally, absolutely
undoubtable fun. It is just so different from all the other
scouting activities that are around. A piece of advice to everyone
is that you should go. Go for the fun and because it is just
so different. Make new friends and starve, i mean have fun at
the same time. |

LISA:
Survivor was awesome! All the kids had a great time and was
awesome getting to know them and being a scout of a day, thanks
for voting me off first guys =P - Lisa

JOSH:
My favourite part of the camp would have to be winning $10 for
standing on the pole for 4 hours.
I liked the whole lot, the tribal council was good and the food
wasn't that bad (apart from cat food, I would of liked some
meat though.
all the challenges were good and the people were cool. James
is cool.
It was great meeting all the people and I'll try and get down
next year to help out. |
JAMES:
Although it takes a lot of time to organise - it is worth it
because the camp is SO much fun. The challenges are awesome
- especially standing on the poles! And all the guides and scouts
had heaps of fun. Thanks to all the other venturers who helped
out and a HUGE thankyou to glen - our venturer leader - especially
for making those AWESOME bandanas! The camp is a once in a lifetime
opportunity and I recommend that everyone comes! I look forward
to our 2003 camp and hope to see lots of u there! |
TaDaa! |

JOCELYN:
Survivor camp was run during the
school holidays by 3rd Croydon Venturers at Clifford Park. It
was like the TV show "Survivor" and you did challenges
for food rewards and immunity. The camp was fun. I made lots
of friends. We did lots of little challenges like standing on
a post for four hours and riding a bike blindfolded. I came
third overall. |
SCOTTY:
I liked the camp becuase it was really fun, you get to become
so good friends with the people that you camp with it's almost
like you've been together for years. My favourite challenge
was the one where we got covered in icecream toppings, flour
and jelly. |
Oh, You Look Beeeauuutiful
