School Camp Programs

Our camp programs

Our camp programs focus on developing a child’s love for the outdoors through challenging and fun activities – from canoeing, abseiling, mountain biking and ropes courses, to archery, hut and raft building, bushwalks, orienteering, bush cooking and much more!

Camp is an important place for students to build life skills, relationships (both with their peers and teachers), independence and resilience. Our award-winning camp programs are catered towards cultural and indigenous awareness, environmental consciousness and sustainability. Our school camp program outcomes can be mapped to The Victorian Curriculum F-10 and VCE to help schools meet their curriculum needs.
