Camp is Fun
For many students, the highlight of the school year is heading off on camp. School camp is more than just a few nights away from home—it’s an adventure packed with laughter, new experiences, and memories that last a lifetime. But what makes school camp so much fun?
Adventure in the Great Outdoors
Our Log Cabin Camp venues (Log Cabin Camp, Log Cabin Camp Homestead and Adekate Camp) are based in beautiful natural settings that give students the chance to explore the outdoors in a safe and exciting way. Activities like canoeing, bushwalking, orienteering, and zipline let kids discover the thrill of adventure while enjoying the beauty of nature.
Time with Friends
One of the best parts of school camp is spending quality time with classmates outside of the classroom. Sharing cabins, playing games, and working together as a team during activities builds strong friendships. The fun of late-night chats, laughter echoing through the campsite, and the shared sense of “we’re all in this together” creates bonds that are hard to replicate anywhere else.
Trying New Things
School camp pushes students to step outside their comfort zones and face fears. Whether it’s facing a high ropes course or leading their group in a team challenge, kids get to try things they’ve never done before. These moments are exciting, sometimes a little scary, but always rewarding. And when students realise what they are capable of, the sense of achievement adds to the fun.
Freedom and Independence
For many children, camp is one of their first times away from home. While that can feel daunting, it also gives them a chance to grow. Making their bed, managing their gear, and helping out with group responsibilities encourages independence. With teachers and camp staff there to support them, students get a taste of freedom while still being safe to have a go at a new challenge.
Unforgettable Memories
Above all, school camp is fun because it’s different. It’s a break from routine, a chance to unplug from screens, and an opportunity to connect with friends, teachers, and the environment in a whole new way. The stories, the laughter, the adventures—these are the things that stay with kids long after camp has finished.
We cannot wait to welcome you to camp!
