There’s nothing quite like waking up at camp to the sound of the kookaburra calling through the trees.

They’re regular visitors here, especially in the early morning—perched nearby, laughing their way into the day. It’s one of those simple, unforgettable camp moments that never gets old.

Wow—Term 1 flew by! 🌟

A huge THANK YOU to all the incredible schools who joined us for camp this term. We’ve loved every minute hosting you across Log Cabin Camp, Log Cabin Camp Homestead, Adekate Bush Tent Site and Adekate Camp—what an amazing start to the year!

From campfires to challenges, laughter to learning, it’s been a joy to see students making memories in the beautiful Goldfields region near Ballarat.

We hope you all have a safe, happy, and well-deserved Easter break 🐣
We can’t wait to welcome campers back again in Term 2.

Students heading off on a night walk at our beautiful Adekate Camp site, featured in this important article regarding school camps and the impact of teachers' TIL. Most people would agree that teachers deserve a pay rise - maybe that would help!

Schools are cancelling camps at increasing rates as they feel the squeeze from rising costs and changes to teacher payment requirements.
