Camp Eildon & Wanggai Bush Camp

Toorak College

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

As a result of the impact of COVID-19, the Year 8 outdoor programs needed to be adjusted to ensure the students are able to attend an outdoor experience. Therefore, the students will be attending OEG’s Camp Eildon and Wanggai Bush Camp, where they will find themselves bushwalking, cycling and camping in the Eildon Region. Our campsite at Wanggai is set amongst beautiful tea-tree scrub with creeks and streams trickling throughout. Students will alternate between doing initiative activities, high ropes and cycling in this area, as well as activities at Camp Eildon.

Camp Eildon & Wanggai Bush Camp

Location

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!

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!

High Ropes

Our high ropes course delivers an exciting challenge with students setting their own goals and developing confidence, determination and decision-making skills.

Cooking

For many, this is the first time they will be cooking and preparing their own meals. Some discover a new passion while developing healthy habits and self-belief.

Cycling

A favourite activity among our team, cycling along a windy track together or playing group games builds resilience and independence in young people.

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!

Raft Building

Working together, students design and build a raft out of available materials then test it out on the water, raft building is loved by students of all ages.
