Fuelled and Fresh
At The Great Aussie Bush Camp, we believe in keeping children healthy, active, and fuelled with delicious meals.
All our food is prepared fresh daily onsite in our commercial kitchens and we make sure it’s not only nutritious but also something everyone will enjoy.
Our menu is packed with variety, from hamburgers and spaghetti Bolognese to nacos and classic BBQs with sausages, and a salad bar. For breakfast, we offer both hot and cold options that can include things like pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, spaghetti, and a range of cereals. Plus, fresh fruit and drinks are always on hand at every meal to keep you hydrated and energised throughout the day.
Special dietary requirements
With over 110,000 students passing through our camps each year, we are fully versed on all dietary requirements. Our team understands the challenges of food allergies and cultural requirements, and we make sure everyone feels safe and satisfied. Whether it’s coeliac, vegetarian, halal, lactose intolerance, or anaphylaxis, we have it covered.
Before camp, we work with schools to collect all dietary information, ensuring an exceptional camp experience not just for activities, but for the fresh, tasty meals too.
At camp, participants with dietary requirements are clearly identified, either through a coloured wristband or our meal management system. On arrival, they’ll be checked in and supported by our team to ensure their needs are understood from the very first meal.
All dietary meals are prepared separately by our kitchen team. Participants also meet with our cooks to talk through their requirements, giving everyone extra confidence that they’re getting the right meals every time.
If a participant needs to bring their own food, that’s absolutely fine too, just let us know before arriving at camp so we can support this. Please do not bring anything that contains nuts. E.g Nutella sandwiches, peanut butter, satay sauces on noodles.
We’re an allergy-aware camp with a HACCP-controlled kitchen, regularly inspected for safety. Our strict policies and procedures prevent cross-contamination, including coeliac-safe alternatives where necessary.
