Not only do we have a 24 ft climbing wall coming, but I am also very excited to say that we have Vicky the Truck (a virtual reality experience) coming from Melbourne for this. The film that was made in Kaniva for the Victorian. And proud of it campaign is nearing completion and girls will also be able to see this on the day too" said Kaniva Guides Unit Leader, Helen Hobbs.
Girls aged 12 - 17 are invited to book in for Girls Rock.

These fantastic adventures are coming up for girls in the Wimmera, thanks to a $1 million grant recently awarded to Girl Guides Victoria! The funding from the Department of Health and Human Services is being used to open up the world of Guiding to hundreds of girls all around Victoria, including the Wimmera.
The Guides Victoria grant has also just been used to fit out the Arura campsite on the Wimmera River with canoes and tents. This is to enable small groups of girls to plan and run their own camping adventures, whilst developing their leadership skills. Horsham Sports and Community Centre have funded additional kayaks for this.
