Tents - Pekerau School has a set of modern well designed tents. together they are capable of accommodating two senior classes. All tents have a reversible fly sheet and sewn in waterproof floor. These tents have been tested to the extreme with a large group in fairly severe weather conditions. Students learn how to pitch tents from a fairly young age as part of the junior school outdoor education programme. |

Kayaks - Pekerau School has a set of 12 student kayaks with a custom built trailer containing buoyancy vests and paddles. We have also recently purchased a white water kayak for use with more advanced students and instructors. The kayaks were sponsored to a large degree by local businesses. The kayaks are available for hire, with all funds raised from this going back into the maintenance and purchase of equipment. The kayaks are used for students from year 4 through to year 6. Instruction is carried out in a swimming pool prior to camps to ensure students can exit a kayak confidently and safely. This must be demonstrated prior to kayaking on open flat water. |

Cooking Kits - These kits contain everything (apart from food) that groups of students need to be self sufficient. Every second year students are expected to cook their own meals for the duration of a camp. They are fully supported by parents and teachers to ensure that the experience is both safe and enjoyable. Each kit contains cooking utensils, pots, pans, and a two ring gas burner with a gas bottle. |
