Stories from Cottage  

Waves & special memories 

October 12, 2025

Excitement filled the air when we welcomed children from Mandama Primary School. For the majority of the children, it was their first camp away from home. 

With the sun shining and waves rolling, there were plenty of opportunities to play in the sand, build sandcastles and race one another along the beach. The highlight was boogie-boarding. The laughter and cheers were endless as they caught wave after wave, each bringing a mix of thrill and joy. Between splashes and sandy smiles, friendships grew stronger and confidence soared. 

As the day was coming to an end, a delicious warm meal was ready in the dining room. The group gathered to share stories with one another about their day. Even though it was a one-night Take a Break program, the memories made, the laughter, the waves and the joy of simply being together will stay with them for life.
