Children, families and teachers from three remote West Arnhem Land communities converged on Country for Nawarddeken Academy's annual school camp.

Students from Manmoyi, Mamadawerre and Kabulwarnamyo made the journey to Aldaddubbe for three days packed with cultural activities, family time and outdoor adventure.

Nawarddeken Academy said the camp gave wurdurd, or children, an opportunity to learn cultural skills directly from their families while connecting with students from the academy's other sites.

During the camp, yawkyawk, or girls, learnt how to strip and dye pandanus using colours made from natural materials.

Yawurrinj, or boys, were shown how to make and straighten mankole, or spears.

The students also visited bim, or rock art sites, where they learnt about caring for culturally important places and calling to their ancestors.

The academy said the camp let children learn alongside family and teachers on Country.

After a day of cultural learning, students hunted for wild honey, swam in clear creeks and took to the volleyball and football fields.

Traditional dance took centre stage, with each night closing in a burst of kunborrk performances.

"The highlight was undoubtedly the kunborrk, with the three nights of camp being wrapped up with one of the biggest and best kunborrk performances we have seen," the organisation said.

Nawarddeken Academy runs learning sites scattered across the vast Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area.

The annual camp is a rare chance for children, families and staff from all three sites to gather in one place.

"Bringing all three sites together is something truly special," the organisation said.

"Watching our wurdurd learn from their families, connect with Country, share culture and simply enjoy being together is what Nawarddeken Academy is all about."

The academy said the camp blended classroom learning with cultural knowledge, family involvement and hands-on experience on Country.

It said the gathering helped forge stronger ties between students from different remote sites.

For the children, the three-day camp meant learning cultural practices, visiting sacred sites and sharing time together, with each night ending in dance around the camp.
