Activities

Our adventure activities are rewarding for all ages and ability levels. Our first priority is safety, closely followed by as much fun as possible!  We use the activities for fun, experiential learning, personal development and team skills. Activities are debriefed at a level suitable for the group and with appropriate content, to maximise the benefits of the experience.

Our own facilitators run all of these recreation and adventure activities on site. The only activity that involves leaving the site is the bush walk (which is a loop starting and finishing at our camp).  This means that you can get the most out of your activities, and not waste time and money travelling between different sites.

About our Facilitators

Mid Ropes (click for more info) Our Mid Ropes course reaches eight metres in height. Use harnesses and other equipment to remain safe whilst challenging boundaries and encouraging others. The highlight is the flying fox dismount.
Abseiling A classic adventure activity. Our 11 metre abseil wall is a very safe way to experience the thrill of abseiling. For abseiling we have one on one tuition with an instructor at the top of the wall controlling a safety rope and giving guidance.
Possum Pull A fantastic thrill generated by team effort. Each person takes a turn at being the “possum”. They are harnessed and attached to one end of a rope. The rope runs over a pulley 14 metres high then back down to the rest of the team. This team is also attached to the rope. When they runs the possum gets a giant swing into the air. Great fun.
Jungle Course An exciting introduction to Maranatha ropes, this low ropes course is set in a beautiful jungle like environment and is ideal for youngsters and beginners. The platforms are low to the ground for reassurance and the bridges span the gullies just a few metres high.
Tower of Tremble A great team building experience that needs trust and communication to create a trembling tower of crates. Sound easy? Here's the catch: you and your partner must work together and climb the tower as you go. Crates are passed up as you build and you are supported by the rest of the team using ropes and harnesses. See if you can beat the record.
Climbing The 12m climbing wall is vertical with one of the five panels pitched at 12 degrees overhanging for added excitement. The degree of difficulty is moderate so almost anyone can make it to the top, with or without a little help from the counterweight team.
Leap of Faith The Leap is an act of personal courage and trust. Physically easy but a challenge of nerve. The thrill is jumping from the 12m diving board to hit the ball target. Supported by full body harness, dynamic rope and double rigged cable anchors.
Archery A very ancient sport which remains as challenging today as ever. Receive instruction from our fully qualified instructors and improve your stance and technique. Then prepare, aim, fire and HIT THAT TARGET!
Dam Hike / Bush Walk A winding track leads the group through varied terrain following the course of Wappa Creek. We pass Wappa Falls and end up at the spectacular Wappa Dam. En route learn something about the bush and hear some local stories. Learn our famous marching song on the way back so everybody knows when you have returned to camp!
Challenge Trail All you need to do is follow the rope trail through bush land to a secret location in the campgrounds. The catch is that the group is blindfolded and must therefore rely on senses other than sight to get around the course.  The team will need excellent communication skills to stay together and move effectively through the course.
Group Initiatives A huge variety of exercises designed to develop trust, leadership, team work, problem solving and cooperative play. These activities help to identify the different strengths and weaknesses that we all have and how to use them to our advantage. Group initiatives include spiders web, stepping-stones, magic shoes and many more.
River Rafting We provide tyres, rope, wood and lifejackets. You work together to build your own raft, developing communication skills and encouraging teamwork as you find ways to paddle across Wappa Creek.
Pool Sports Get cool in our huge, sparkling blue 25m pool! A variety of team games and problem solving excercises. Completely resurfaced and looking beautiful for 2010!
Drumming A new percussion program, already very popular, great as a night activity or day program. The group will learn to play the rhythmically infectious Samba style Brazillian street music on djembe, darbuka, congas and our super-huge bass drum.
Rocket Ball A game of aim! A metre high slingshot fixed in the ground. Rocket ball allows you to test your skills by shooting the balls at a target. Also incorporating a Rounders-like team game. Just plain old fun!
Team Games Designed to encourage teamwork, competitive spirit, honouring competition, sportsmanship and cooperative play. Primarily the activity promotes fun, friendship and working together.
High Ropes (click for more info) Maranatha's High Ropes Course is spectacular, it never fails to impress. With eight sections and abseil dismount ranging from 8 to 14 metres in height it is guaranteed to thrill and challenge the most timid to the most adventurous. Re-worked and re-rigged to focus on balance and confidence rather than strength. All equipment is supplied with our trained and enthusiastic facilitators providing the opportunity for lots of seriously exciting fun.
Flying Fox Our 80 metre long Flying Fox is guaranteed to thrill and excite people of all ages. Established amongst giant forest flooded gums- you'll be flying through the trees at great speed. Starts with a long, easy climb up the tree on big staples to the platform, then the zip line and rope lower off.
Gubbi Gubbi Cultural Night Program Lyndon Davies presents the Gubbi Gubbi cultural program. Lyndon is the keeper of the knowledge for the Gubbi Gubbi people of this area. His work in cultural heritage is extensive. You'll hear stories, learn language and see and hold artifacts.
