Bush to beach adventure
July 07, 2026
Mountain bikes, surfboards and plenty of smiles – our Mentor participants experienced the best of Victoria's bush and coastline during an action-packed day in Anglesea and Torquay.
The adventure began on the mountain bike trails of Anglesea, where participants challenged themselves, while navigating winding tracks and taking in stunning coastal views. For some, it was their first time mountain biking, making the experience even more rewarding. As confidence grew so did the sense of accomplishment, with participants encouraging one another along the way.
After swapping the bush for the beach, the group headed to Torquay for a well-earned lunch before preparing for the next challenge. With ideal surfing conditions and plenty of enthusiasm, everyone embraced the opportunity to hit the waves. Whether standing up for the first time or simply enjoying the time in the ocean, participants approached the experience with energy and a willingness to try something new.
Mountain biking and surfing were just two of the many experiences that made the camp so memorable. Throughout the week, participants stepped outside their comfort zones, built new friendships and took on a range of challenges, developing skills and memories that will stay with them long after this camp has finished.
