WILDERNESS CAMP

WILDERNESS CAMPS

Wilderness Camps rely on group cooperation while fostering a sense of independence as participants explore their attitude towards themselves and their peers. The camps provide students with the opportunity to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills while exploring their own potential. Students become proactive in a number of different situations that involve trust, decision making and recognising the individual differences that make each of us unique.

Wilderness Camps are conducted around the Glastonbury area which is located on 160 hectares of pristine private land adjacent to Brooyar State Forest, in the scenic Mary Valley. Glastonbury is just 20 minutes NW of Gympie or 2.5 hours north of Brisbane.

Camp Programmes:

Individual programs can be designed based on the goal of the camp. Activities that lend themselves to relevant issues can be implemented to get the most out of each camp. Wilderness camps may also centre around one specific adventure activity.

The level of the camp activities varies according to age and experience of the group. Students are encouraged to participate in all activities and to use peer support as a means of motivation for others. Total Adventures practices the philosophy of Challenge by Choice and uses one on one support to assist students who want to do some of the more challenging activities, but need that extra support. Students also participate in the daily routines around camp that have just as strong an impact on individuals as the activities.

Camp Accommodation

The only way to really experience this magnificent region is through camping. But camping does not mean being uncomfortable. Students sleep in modern tents provided by Total Adventures and use a range of modern camping equipment.

Camp Catering

One of the main features of any camp is the food. It is the one item that is remembered the most. Out in the wilderness where there is plenty of fresh air, students’ appetites seem as big as the outdoors. Total Adventures uses qualified chefs while on camp so catering is well balanced, nutritional and there is plenty of it.
