| A cross cultural holiday camp was
established at Camp Jungai at Rubicon
near Eildon, in Victoria. The camps
included Aboriginal culture classes, craft
activities, and outdoor programs.
Camp Jungai held eight
camps and two staff
conferences each
year. Schools were
able to access the
Camp and it was an
important part of the cultural maintenance for Victorian Koories. Many Koorie students in
Victoria accessed the camp during the 1970's and 1980's.In 1978, the V.A.E.C.G held
the first Summer School for tertiary students at Camp Jungai.In the 1980's, they held
Education Transition camps for Koorie children who were being promoted from grade 6
in primary school to year 7 in secondary schooling. The camps were held to make the
transition process for the students easier and to give them some skills in using the
computer, literacy and numeracy. The Education Transition Camps were held at Camp
Jungai during this time. Camp Jungai has been renovated and continues to provide
camps in 2001. |
