Have you ever wished you could press pause on the busyness of everyday life and simply spend quality time together as a family?
At Family Camp 2026, we’re creating the perfect opportunity to do just that. Set amongst the breathtaking natural beauty of the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park, Silverband Lodge will become a place where families can reconnect, laugh, explore, and create memories that will be talked about for years to come.
Whether you’re travelling with young children, teenagers, grandparents, or somewhere in between, Family Camp offers a welcoming and relaxed experience where everyone can participate at their own pace.
What is Family Camp?
Family Camp is a weekend designed to bring families together through shared experiences, outdoor adventures, fun activities, great food, and meaningful connections.
Unlike a traditional holiday where everyone often goes their separate ways, Family Camp provides opportunities to enjoy activities together, meet other families, and experience the joy of being immersed in nature.
It’s about slowing down, trying new things, and making memories as a family.
What Can You Expect?
Comfortable Accommodation
forget tents and air mattresses. At Family Camp 2026, you’ll enjoy comfortable lodge-style accommodation in the heart of the Grampians, with stunning mountain views, fresh country air, and native wildlife right on your doorstep.
All families stay in private ensuite rooms, providing the comfort and convenience of having your own bathroom throughout your stay. Every room includes a double bed option, making it easy for couples, parents, grandparents, and families to settle in and relax after a day of adventure and activities.
To help keep Family Camp affordable, guests are welcome to bring their own linen. If you’d rather travel light, simply select linen hire when booking and we’ll have everything ready for your arrival.
It’s all about enjoying the fun and connection of camp while still having the comfort of a warm, welcoming room to retreat to at the end of the day.
Delicious Meals Included
One of the best parts of camp? Someone else does the cooking!
Meals are designed to bring people together around the table, sharing stories from the day’s adventures and making new friends along the way. From breakfast through to dinner, we’ll keep everyone well fed so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
We cater for a range of dietary requirements and food allergies, so if you let us know your needs when booking, our team will make sure you’re looked after throughout your stay.

Why Families Love Camp
At Silverband Lodge, we believe in the power of:
- Bringing people together to build connections and community
- Outdoor adventures that help children and adults grow in confidence, and
- Spending time in nature as a place to relax, recharge, and be inspired.
Family Camp brings all of these ingredients together in one fun-filled weekend.
Kids have the chance to try new things, build confidence and make new friends. Parents can step away from the day-to-day routine, relax, and enjoy quality time with their children. Most importantly, families head home with plenty of shared memories, lots of laughs, and stories they’ll be talking about for years to come.
Discover the Magic of the Grampians
The spectacular Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park provides the perfect backdrop for Family Camp.
Towering sandstone mountains, abundant wildlife, fresh air, and stunning natural scenery create an environment that encourages exploration and wonder.
For many families, it becomes more than just a weekend away. It becomes a tradition.
