Educational and Fun Camps
For All Year Levels

For over 30 years we have been organising and delivering professionally run camp & educational experiences for schools in South Australia and beyond.

Unlike many ‘one size fits all’ packages, we can design and tailor your package to suit your requirements, ensuring the best possible outcomes are achieved for your students.

We take care in developing programs that utilise content linked to many Australian Curriculum areas. Each of our programs develop student’s knowledge, understanding and skills to strengthen their sense of self, and build interpersonal relationships.

School Camps For All Ages

Primary School Camps

Our Primary school camps build confidence, friendships, and foundational skills through play-based and guided outdoor learning. They support personal growth, teamwork, and leadership in age-appropriate ways, supporting the Australian Curriculum’s focus on personal and social development. Our most popular camps for Primary Schools include Aboriginal Cultural Studies, Environmental Science, and Aquatics.

Middle School Camps

Our Middle school camps challenge students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and step outside their comfort zones. They support key curriculum outcomes in resilience, leadership, and ethical decision-making, while fostering identity, belonging, and responsibility. Our most popular camps include Orientation & Transition Camps, Hybrid Camps, and Aquatic Experiences.

Secondary School Camps

Our Secondary school camps provide real-world experiences that foster agency, independence, and critical thinking. Programs support personal growth and leadership across Years 9–12, with experiences tailored and designed to complement capabilities and SACE outcomes. Choose from residential retreat camps to multi-night experiences including our kayak and canoe experiences.

Residential Camps

Our Residential Camps offer a comfortable and immersive experience for students at a variety of locations throughout South Australia.

These camps are designed to provide a safe and structured environment where students can engage in hands on educational and recreational activities. With great facilities and dedicated staff, students will have the opportunity to develop essential life skills, build strong peer relationships, and create lasting memories.

Our programs are tailored to align with the curriculum, ensuring that students not only have fun but also gain valuable knowledge and experiences that support their wellbeing and growth.

Hybrid and Tent-Based Camps

Our Hybrid and Tent-Based Camps combine the best of both worlds, offering students the chance to experience the great outdoors while still having access to essential amenities. These camps are perfect for fostering a sense of adventure and resilience among Middle and Secondary School students.

Participants will engage in a range of exciting activities such as hiking, biking, aquatics, team-building exercises, and environmental education, all while learning to live and work together in a camp setting. Our experienced instructors ensure that all activities are safe, educational, and enjoyable, providing students with a well-rounded and enriching experience.

A Hybrid Camp option is a perfect lead-in experience to our Journeys. We can tailor your hybrid program to include camp out and outdoor education principals in preparation for an amazing experience the following year.

Journeys and Expeditions

Our Journeys and Expeditions programs are designed to challenge and inspire Secondary School students. These extended trips take students out of their comfort zones and into some of the most beautiful outdoor locations in South Australia.

Whether it’s a hiking, canoeing or kayaking expedition, a tourism adventure or a cultural immersion experience, students will develop leadership skills, self-reliance, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Our carefully planned itineraries and experienced guides ensure that each journey is both safe and transformative, leaving students with a sense of accomplishment and a wealth of new experiences.
