Camp Lake Fire - Camping and Fishing at Maroon Dam Queensland

Churchie Year 5 School Camp

On the back of the St Margret’s weekend was the Churchie Year 5 School Survivor Camp. It was a group of 120, who participated in a variety of activities, but the highlight for many was the fishing component. The boats are fitted with Minn Kota electrics, so the students don’t need a licence to drive them. The boys had a ball and managed to catch and release some of the biggest yellowbelly we’ve seen at Maroon to date. The bass were also on the bite and plenty were caught. Churchie is a school which is actively involved in Sports Tuition’s programs. During the school holidays, Camp Lake Fire also hosted a Father & Son fishing group from Years 5 & 6 at Churchie. During that weekend boats were catching up to 30 bass in a session. The experience would have been an advantage for those boys who attended and then returned for their school camp.
