Outdoor adventures that makes school camp unforgettable
At The Great Aussie Bush Camp, we’re Australia’s top choice for school camps. Set across stunning bushland and waterfront locations, our seven school camp sites in NSW, VIC and QLD turn a few days away from the classroom into the kind of adventure students remember for years. From soaring high in the sky on the giant swing, to mastering archery or braving the Leap of Faith, there’s an adventure for everyone.
We cater for primary and high school students from Year three through to Year 12, and welcome over 110,000 students every year. Great food, comfortable accommodation, seamless transport, and non-stop activities: we handle every detail so teachers can focus on watching their students grow, laugh, and have a whole lot of fun.
School camp programs built around what your school wants
No two schools want the same thing from camp, so we don’t run one-size-fits-all school camp programs. Personal growth, leadership, wellbeing, or a class that finally works as a team: tell us the goal, and we’ll build the program around it.
In NSW, we offer curriculum-aligned outdoor education programs that connect with key learning areas such as:
- Life Ready and Anti-Bullying programs
- HSIE fieldwork and environmental studies
- Marine program
- Resilance, and self discover through our Rock and Water program
In QLD and VIC, our focus is on highly personalised programs built in partnership with teachers to achieve your school’s unique objectives. Our unique REACH framework (Relationships, Experiences, Achievement, Character or Health and Wellbeing) ensures each experience pushes young people to go beyond their comfort zone until something clicks. Real critical thinking, real teamwork, and a genuine connection to the natural environment.
Wherever you’re based, our team works with you to build a camp experience your students will still be talking about for years to come.
Adventure activities that get every student involved
Boasting one of the widest ranges of on- and off-site adventure activities of any outdoor education centre in Australia, Bush Camp delivers experiences to suit every student. From adrenaline-pumping challenges like giant swings, flying fox, and power fans, to relaxed hands-on favourites such as canoeing, bushcraft and archery, there’s something for every interest, confidence level, and ability.
We welcome all students and strive to make every adventure inclusive. Each activity operates under our “challenge by choice” philosophy, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones at their own pace while building resilience, teamwork, and confidence along the way. The kid who’s nervous about heights gets exactly the encouragement they need, and more often than not, ends up asking to go again!
Activity programs are built to suit every age and ability, from first-time campers to seasoned adventurers, so every visit to our school camp sites feels fresh and genuinely fun. Check out our full range of adventure activities!
Accommodation that works for you
Bringing one class or half the year group, we’ve got a setup to suit either way. Schools get private campsites with dedicated amenities, and accommodation ranging from cabin-style tents to dormitories and cabins, so every group of guests has the space and comfort to recharge after a big day of adventure.
Each school camp site is built with students’ comfort in mind, from comfortable sleeping arrangements to well-equipped meeting rooms for staff briefings or wet-weather backup plans.
