Camping

Camping out in tents is our speciality! We love telling stories around the campfire, looking up at the night sky and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Bushwalking

Be it a day's hike or a short walk to camp, bushwalking engages all our senses allowing us to explore nature and our place within it. And we always find something exciting along the way!

Initiatives

Our many initiatives can be large or small group activities on the land or water, encouraging social connection, negotiation, problem-solving and adaptability, all while having fun!

Parents – please keep your phone nearby and answer calls from No Caller ID during Camp. It may be us trying to contact you.
Both OEG and your school will have an Emergency Contact who will be informed if there is an incident on the program. Primary contact with parents/guardians will be made by the MCC Emergency Contact. Where this is not possible, contact will be made by the OEG All Hours Contact or the OEG Program Coordinator. In the event of an emergency at home while your child is at camp, parents/guardians can reach out to the MCC Emergency Contact. We kindly ask that you reserve calls for urgent matters, as many concerns, including difficult news, can be better addressed privately with your child when they return home. Additionally, we encourage you to be mindful of phone usage to ensure it remains available for emergency situations.
