We have a number of on-site activities available! This includes:

Camp Cooking

Have you ever wondered how to cook food if we didn’t have gas, electricity and all our modern cooking equipment? Get back to basics and learn how to build and light the perfect cooking campfire, make and cook traditional damper (bread) over your open campfire. The best part is that you get to eat your toasty warm damper at the end with a variety of condiments like honey or maple syrup.

Bread not your thing? How about come and bake cheesy bacon jacket potatoes on the fire instead. Yum!

Want to challenge yourself even further? We can provide you the complete campfire cooking experience where you learn to cook a whole three course meal over the fire. We make a savoury damper for entrée, sausages and roast vegetables for main and a banana boat or baked cinnamon apple for dessert.

Now we’re camp cooking!

Initiatives Arena

These activities give a combined challenge of tricky physical obstacles with mental problem solving such as our spider's web element, get your whole team past all without touching the web but there is a catch! How will you get your team mates safely up and through the holes with our varying strengths and sizes.

Our initiative games have similar team work outcomes working on communication, problem solving, leadership and followership dynamics, group decision making. Get your whole team over our 'acid river' with magic tiles, untie the human knot, flip the magic carpet while standing on it, lower the floating helium stick and many more exciting challenges to get you thinking outside the box and working to your team’s full potential. These challenges can be adapted by our team to suit any age and ability level.

Pioneering

Using your newly acquired knot tying and building skills taught by our expert instructors. You will design and build your very own ballista (think of a giant sling shot!) and compete in a variety of challenges to test out the capabilities of your ballista including distance competitions, accuracy competitions and a group favourite - water warfare! This activity will require people of many different skills and abilities are you strong, a planner, a people organizer, dexterous and technical? We need your skills, bring them to the team!

Bushwalking

Lane Cove National Park is a significant conservation area containing locally endangered communities including turpentine forest and animals such as the powerful owl. Our guides can tell you about some of the history and ecology of the area and even show you some bushfoods to try.

Orienteering course

Get your survival skills on and learn how to navigate in the Australian bush using maps, compasses and land features. The 1-2 km course will challenge your teams while you find the hidden codes and compete with other teams to see who can find the most codes and earn the most points! How will you approach the challenge - get time on your side with a fast pace, or slow steady and accurate? Will you tackle the big point earners first or aim to get more small point codes but aim for quantity?

High Ropes

Swing, step and climb right above the Australian bush! We love seeing people apply themselves to activities that are outside of their normal experience.

Our adrenaline-fueled exhilarating high ropes course is suitable for children and adults alike, and involves navigating a series of elements 5.5 metres above the ground. Strap on your helmet and harness, and get ready to climb!

Archery Tag

Step onto the battlefield for a high-stakes tournament showdown: Two archery teams face off in an adrenaline-charged competition under the expert guidance of our top-notch instructors. Prepare for a series of fast-paced, heart-racing games that will test your mettle. Much like tag or dodgeball, it's a relentless pursuit of victory:

-Strike an opponent with your arrow and they're eliminated.
-Limited cover means there's nowhere to hide, so if you cower, the enemy can take out your target and seize the win.
-Embrace the challenge, dodge the rain of arrows, and wield your bow with mastery to etch your name in the annals of Arrow Tag history and claim your triumph!

Leap of Faith

Climb up a tree to a height of 11metres and then leap for a trapeze bar hanging out from the edge. This activity takes courage and trust in the equipment, ropes and each other.
