Journey Camp in the Grampians National Park
Set out on an unforgettable adventure with Silverband Lodge’s Journey Camps, where exploration, learning, and challenge unfold in the spectacular Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park. Led by our skilled expedition team, students tackle mountain hikes, canoe journeys, and cycling trails designed to stretch their abilities while sparking curiosity. Each program encourages students to grow their confidence, develop practical outdoor skills, and build a meaningful connection to the natural world.
Who are Journey Camps for?
Journey Camps are designed for secondary students with prior outdoor experience who are ready for a more demanding expedition-style program. Ideal for groups seeking structured challenge and personal growth, these multi-day journeys take students beyond their comfort zones through activities such as hiking, cycling, climbing, and canoeing. With expert guidance, quality equipment, and clear learning outcomes, Journey Camps help students develop leadership, self-reliance, and a deeper appreciation for the environment.

Explore the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park
There’s a unique magic to exploring the Grampians, a landscape of soaring cliffs, winding trails, and hidden waterfalls that inspire awe at every turn.
On a Silverband Lodge Journey Camp, students experience this ancient country up close, from walking sections of the Grampians Peaks Trail to gliding across still waterways on overnight canoe adventures and riding through bushland alive with native wildlife. As they climb, paddle, and navigate their way through rugged terrain, students discover moments they’ll carry forever. Experience the quiet of a sunrise over the ranges, the adrenaline of a new challenge, the laughter shared around a trail-side meal on Journey Camp.
With all meals, equipment, and support provided, students can fully immerse themselves in the journey, the friendships, and the breathtaking views that make the Grampians truly unforgettable.

Pool is a Huge Asset
Excellent camp facilities. Great staff – management, activity leaders and kitchen crew. The set up of the buildings makes supervision easy – ensuites, games rooms at each end, dining in the middle. Pool is a huge asset for the free time.
