Cosmic Cluster Review 2


Do you want an opportunity that will add spice and experience to your life? Well this camp is for you. 
The main things about the camp are intelligence and social skills. Obviously the intelligence is meant to be applied to the new topics, thus creating a new mindset and set of knowledge. Social skills are essential throughout the camp from speaking to people in your dorm to using sufficient manners during meal times. There are many topics including, music, art, drama, forensic science, medieval history and digital storytelling. With most schools you will get to choose the core you would like to be in. These will require thinking, knowledge and optimism, and in the end it is fun as well as interesting in many ways. You will be assigned to a group called a “core”, which you will be with for a chunk of the camp and you will work with them for a common goal and do things from speaking to them to doing the dishes with them, and of course you will get to know them. Early on it is about introducing you and growing confidence but it will unfold into a fully grown excellent social and learning experience. You will be doing things from building to geocaching to solving complex riddles and dilemmas. The operation is situated in a place called Woodhouse, around 2 hours away from Adelaide city. It is fairly remote, far in the country. For some reason it is in winter so it will be rainy and you may not be able to do all of the physical activities unfortunately. The dorms are not luxury but not complete trash. All you get is some bunk beds which people will argue over, a small room and a nearby bathroom if you’re lucky. If you do get a bathroom next to your dorm you will likely be sharing it with a teacher. The food is excellent you will get a good quality course with dessert for dinner. There are a range of selections for breakfast and maybe lunch and all the different foods are great tasting. They also give other food options for those with eating disorders or conditions such as that.
In conclusion it is a great experience for those who would like to learn something that is not provided at school. It is also fun at the same time as achieving this goal. I guarantee that you will find this enjoyable in some way or another. It is like a normal camp except is rarer and hosts more opportunities. It is excellence and elegance in one camp. Do it.
