It is becoming increasingly difficult to convince parents of the worth of vacation camps. Not only is it an excellent way for students to come together and interact in a completely different setting, but it is a unique way for students to challenge themselves and to develop emotional and gross motor skills.
When you begin adding syllabus inclusions the camp looks even more enticing.
Anyhow, bring along your students and watch them have an absolute blast, and maybe even learn a thing or two about themselves and each other in the process.

Snowy Mountains & Canberra Trips
We know it is getting increasingly difficult to fit EVERYTHING into the school calendar for the year. These trips are a unique way to get the most value out of those couple of calendar days. And the students enjoy it too!
Give the students the chance to interact with teachers out of the school environment, and take the opportunity to look at the year group interact with each other in a different setting.
We will take students to some of the great attractions Canberra has to offer and help integrate them into your current class units of work. And while we are down that way we will also take the students skiing for a couple of days (including a 3hr lesson each day by our professional instructors).
This is a very flexible program, so if you have any other suggestions for inclusion please feel free to name it and we'll include it! (Such as the Kiandra goldfields, or the hydro-electric Snowy Mountains scheme).

Year 6 Peer Support Camp
Many schools already use our Peer Support programs to compliment their current 'in school programs'. This is because camp is such a wonderful place to begin developing positive relationships and fostering the right kind of attitudes in the students themselves. So why not bring them to the Great Aussie Bush Camp instead!
Through experiential learning and spelling workshops, Year 6 students will develop practical personal skills that will provide the basis for a more successful Primary Peer Support Program. The program is designed to run in conjunction with a school based program.
Our Peer Support Camps offer Peer Support Leaders the opportunity to establish rapport with their groups and to develop and implement leadership skills. Students are able to develop friendships, group cohesion, enhance their self esteem and identify with their Peer Support Leaders and Peer Group. The Peer Support Camp also establishes positive Teacher/Student relations in a fun and exciting manner.
So bring the Year 6's along and get to know them in a way that you can't in the classroom.

City to Country
Some students living in the city never experience life in the country.
The Great Aussie Bush Camp offers students the opportunity be a part of the ‘bush’ in rural NSW.
Through experiential learning activities, city students can now see, hear & feel Australia’s country at its best.
