School camps that set students up for life
At The Great Aussie Bush Camp, we believe outdoor education is more than just adventure – it’s about personal growth, resilience, and learning through experience. We tailor our programs to meet your specific outcome objective, whether that be curriculum focussed, personal growth or team development. If curriculum is key, we’ve got you covered with options like Life Ready, Anti-Bullying programs, and Rock and Water – see the full list here. These can be added to our already fun and engaging outdoor programs so students and teachers can tick off both boxes.
Whether you’re planning a primary school camp, a high school leadership retreat, or anything in between, our programs give students the confidence and skills to take on the world.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for the amazing experience you provided during our recent excursion. From your valuable advice and assistance with bookings to catering and activities, your support was instrumental.
I also want to extend my gratitude to all the instructors who were not only professional but also approachable, motivating, and dedicated. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it was wonderful to see students who usually remain inactive fully engaged and smiling throughout the activities. Your flexibility and commitment to making everything run smoothly were greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for everything.
