Activities

How do I book activities?

We have a range of exciting onsite activities that your group may wish to experience. These are set up and priced for group bookings. Activities are perfect for school or church camps, team building, community groups and more. As part of the booking process, we will discuss options and create an activity package to suit your group's needs.

Please note that activities are no longer booked individually as we have done in the past. We are the experts on Camp activities and so we ask you to trust our team to create an awesome custom experience for your group. When discussing activities with you, we will want to know a few things to help us tailor make an awesome experience for your group:

  1. Your budget. We have 3 price bracket options so there is something to suit every budget. You can choose between the Gold, Silver or Bronze price brackets, which we will quote for you based on the number of participants.
  2. Your values. Our activities are designed to meet different objectives, and we'd love to align the programme with the values and goals of your event. Whether it be educational, team-work focussed, confidence building, problem solving, new experiences or simply to just have fun and laugh - knowing the purpose of your event will help us create a great experience for your group.
  3. The age & ability of your group. We will tailor a programme to suit the age of attendees and also the physical ability of group members. Some activities are better suited to different age groups. Please chat with us about disability access if this is relevant to your group, we have plenty of options available!

We will be creating your activity schedules approximately 2 months out, so will need to gather this information from you prior to this time. You will be sent reminders and a basic form to complete after your booking is confirmed. We will be in touch when your schedule is ready for you to check.

We are running our own programme but would like the option to add in a couple of activities, is this possible?

If you are just looking to do one or two activities rather than a full programme of activities, we can look to book this in approx 7-8 weeks out, after packages for other groups are finalised and we can see what activity sessions we can make available to you.

Quotes available on request. Priority for activity bookings will be given to groups wishing to book a full package.

What does a typical activity schedule look like?

The packages we offer include a certain number of activities based on the timeframe you're here for and the number of participants you have.

We can have up to 5 groups onsite doing activities at any given time, so we do ask groups to be flexible around how activities are scheduled - we work hard to create timetables that cater well to all groups and avoid clashes!

An example of how this may look for a school camp style booking could be:

On your first day at camp we may schedule an "all in" activity, and/or an orienteering activity, to help familiarise everyone with the site.

On the full days you are here, you would have your participants in smaller groups rotating through activities. Each activity day consists of four 90min activity slots - two in the morning and two in the afternoon. For the evenings, we have a range of exciting optional extras such as a Bonfire, Quiz Night, Movie night, Glow Dodgeball or Night Trail.

On your last day, you'll be cleaning the facilities you've used in the morning and can head off when these are checked by our staff, or on request, we may be able to store your gear onsite so you can do a beach walk or have some free time.

If you have a large group (120+), participants will likely be limited to the number of available activity slots within the timeframe, so there is a chance that not everyone will get to do the same activities if you are only here for a short time. You can either allow participants to sign up to an activity group/rotation that suits them best, or look to extend your stay to ensure enough time for all your participants to get through the activities.

Are activities seasonal? Can we come in winter?

Coming in winter is a great idea! We even offer a special deal in May/June/August, where groups can have their activity package at 50% off (conditions apply). Please see our Activities page for Ts & Cs to see if you'd qualify. Be sure to mention this when booking so we can confirm that the deal will apply.

The majority of our activities still run over winter, we just encourage participants to dress warmly. The main difference in winter is that our swimming pool closes for the season. Be sure to book a bonfire instead - toasted marshmallows and campfire songs make for great camp memories!

Do activities get cancelled if the weather is bad?

Most activities go ahead rain or shine! Be sure to prepare guests for all weather - bring old clothes, rain gear and warm clothes.

Some activities that can be affected by the weather include River Adventure, Paddle & Pontoon, the Horse Experience and Rancho Raceway. If the conditions are unsafe we will make a call on the day to cancel these activities. Safety is our number one priority.

We know cancellations can be disappointing, so please prepare participants to be resilient if the weather is bad, and keep a good attitude - camp can still be fun in the rain! We have back-up options available for cancelled activities, and we will communicate these with you if the forecast for your camp isn't looking good.

What activities/facilities are free to use?

We have some awesome free activities which include the swimming pool (open October - April), tennis/basketball courts, rugby/football field, volleyball courts, gaga dodgeball pit, mini golf and a playground with trampolines.

We do not take private bookings for these facilities, as they are free facilities for all guests to use. You are welcome to use these facilities throughout your stay, please be aware that other guests will be able to use them too. Please share them with others as you would any public facility.
