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 travelling between different sites.

About our Facilitators
Our facilitators are committed to ensuring you get the most out of your activities whilst remaining safe and having fun. We have both male and female facilitators with a range of ages and backgrounds to provide balance for your group. Some examples of facilitators’ qualifications are:  senior first aid, registered nurse, vertical rescue operator, canoe instructor, archery instructor and abseil instructor. Please contact us if you would like any more information.

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.

Abseiling

A classic adventure activity. Our 11 metre absiel 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 swinginto the air. Great fun.  

Jungle Course

an exciting introduction to Maranatha ropes, this low ropes course is set in a jungle like environment and is ideal for youngsters and beginners.

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.

Vertical Play Pen

This activity pits two teams against one each other to see who can navigate a series of vertical obstacles the fastest and most effectively. You are belayed by a team of "horses" (the rest of your team) who support you as you climb and then bring you back to earth after you have reached the top.

Leap of Faith

Are you lucky? Can you navigate the pole, jump spiritedly in to the open space and grab the trapeze. This activity is a great confidence builder and awesome fun for people of all ages.

Archery

A very ancient spor 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 sparkling blue pool! A variety of team games, problem solving excercises and lots of splashing happens in our 25 metre pool.

 
Orienteering

Find your way to all of the marked points around the camp using your compass and your feet. Learn the basics of orienteering and compass reading, then practice your newfound skills to collect the markers.

Rocket Ball

A game of aim! A metre high slingshot fixed in the ground. A new addition to our activities, rocket ball allows you to test your skills by shooting the balls at a target. Just plain old fun!

Team Games

These games are designed to encourage teamwork, competitive spirit, honouring competition, sportsmanship and cooperative play. Primarily the activity promotes fund, friendship and working together.
