The Ultimate Challenge - 2010

The Tasmanian Camp - the Ultimate Challenge!

Tuesday 8th to Saturday 12th June 2010
(Day attendance or boarding available)

Four crimes have been prepared and are waiting for you to solve them:

  • A Family Affair - the Galvin family is loaded with secrets - it is murder unnatural..
  • Business Unusual - Peacock-Dennison Pty Ltd has it all - murder, perjury ... and hate...
  • Death by Numbers - There is too much funny money in the bank accounts, and plenty to hide...
  • Open Season - A hunting lodge gathering between old school friends and their families turns very nasty...

Over five days working as part of a close knit team, you will take on the role of a Detective. You will work with a higher police controller and use forensic techniques and lots of brainpower to solve the crime and bring a suspect to trial.  A full trial will be held on the last day.

The aim of the camp is to develop your skills in solving very complex real-life problems - that will take days to solve, not hours and will require the focused intelligence of your team. You will be intrigued, frustrated and excited.

You will enjoy this camp if you like solving problems, working as part of a team, working on a problem for a longer period than usual and you really enjoy solving a problem! "Stickability" is a must to attend and enjoy this camp! See the programme page.

I attended the Introductory Camp in 2009 - what is different?

You don't receive the same level of help. There are different crimes to solve, it runs for a longer time, it is almost all crime solving. You start with is a Police Report and you have to work out everything else. You learn about bringing suspects to trial.

Unlike the 2009 Camp, there are an infinite number of paths to getting an arrest warrant. It is totally up to you and your team... It is a much bigger, more difficult challenge!

Will you really enjoy these camps? Yes, if you:

  • Like having fun
  • Would like to feel part of a "CSI" type environment
  • Like having control of your learning
  • Love the challenge of solving a crime
  • Like working in small groups as part of a team
  • Are challenged by new and different activities and ideas outside the normal classroom environment.

Do you want a challenge?

If you like problem solving, working with others and solving challenges with little assistance from adults this camp is for you.

And very importantly, you also have fun!

Hutchins in partnership with the Tasmanian Department of Education, is running its third camp designed to challenge students from Years 8 and 9, in a new and interesting way.
