Primary schools

The focus for primary school camps is the development of social skills and independence. A primary program promotes active and healthy lifestyles, introduces students to outdoor and environmental education, and is adaptable to suit each group’s needs.

Programs are designed to meet the outcomes from Key Learning Areas, through activities suitable for primary-aged students such as archery, rock climbing, canoeing, low ropes course, kayaking, initiatives and cookout.

Our children were exposed to a wide range of exciting physical, social and educational activities. Turvey Park Public School

Camp activities meet outcomes from the Personal Development, Health and Physical Education syllabus and promote skills associated with syllabus areas for Human Society and Its Environment.

Alpine Experience

This program combines a stimulating outdoor education program with an exploration of the beautiful Snowy Mountains. The Alpine Experience includes a one-day excursion to explore places like Kiandra goldfields, Talbingo Snowy Hydro, Yarrangobilly Caves and Mt Selwyn Snowfields. The program can be tailored to meet units of work from the K-6 Science and Technology syllabus.

Secondary schools

Secondary school students participate in outdoor recreational activities while also addressing aspects of the syllabus, particularly in Personal Development, Health and Physical Education.

Promoting active and health lifestyles, the activities also help to broaden students’ choice of pursuits, hobbies and careers.
