Base Camp

Base Camps offer an exciting progression from residential camps.

Staff were quick to make adjustments for the weather. It was actually more enjoyable having facilitator led activities, made the experience more enjoyable for staff to focus more on student needs.

Camp staff were helpful around meal times in assisting school staff. Camp staff were amazing with engaging individually with students in conversations, supporting the diverse needs of students. They even helped load the bus.

The facilities are sensational, the activities are wonderful, but by far the best thing about Cave Hill Creek is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

They are friendly, engaging and caring of the kids, teachers and parent helpers. It’s great to come to a camp where teachers and camp staff work together seamlessly and have a bit of banter too! Thank you, legends!
