The Walk In
Every camp starts on foot. We meet your group at the Long Forest Conservation Reserve and walk them in while the bus takes the luggage ahead, building a sense of exciting anticipation in the students before they’ve even arrived.

The Survival Game
Our signature game, loved by every age group. Set in five acres of private bushland, teams locate, hunt and hide from each other, and come away understanding life in the bush from an animal’s perspective.
Bush hut building
Teams build shelters from natural materials and learn real survival techniques, then celebrate with damper and billy tea around the campfire.
Geocaching
High-tech treasure hunting. Armed with GPS devices, small teams navigate waypoints across the property to uncover hidden geocaches.
Bruce’s Walk
A half-day environmental bushwalk honouring the legacy of local naturalist Bruce Salau, taking in geology, Aboriginal stories, sustainability and the remarkable flora and fauna of Long Forest.
Campouts
A night under the stars in tents, with campfire activities before lights out. On a three-day camp, half the group can camp out while the other half stays in the homestead, then swap the next night.
