    Description

    Step away from screens and into the wild these school holidays!

    Our Wilderness Program is a 3-day, 2-night outdoor adventure designed for teens to build confidence, resilience, and real-world skills in a supportive team environment.

    Set in the stunning Kangaroo Valley, participants will hike, camp, and take part in structured challenge activities such as navigation, team-based problem solving, and adventure experiences like abseiling (40–100m). Along the way, they’ll learn to work together, step into leadership roles, and push beyond their comfort zones.

    This is more than just a camp—it’s a chance for young people to reset, reconnect, and grow.

    What’s included:

    • Guided hiking & navigatio
    • Canoeing or river exploration (conditions dependent)
    • Challenge activities (including abseiling, team initiatives)
    • Camp setup & outdoor living skills
    • All meals, tents & safety equipment
    • Experienced, qualified instructors

    Who it’s for:

    Teens aged 12+ (no prior experience needed)
