Eco Camps: 5 days
(For ages 14 - 17 Years)
Looking for a school holiday camp that's fun as well as helping protect a valuable environmental asset?
Barrington Outdoor Education offers Eco-camps for young people aged 14-17 years for 5 days alongside the beautiful Barrington River camping at the Steps camp ground that includes a riparian restoration project. You'll help identify weed species, assist with weed removal, erosion prevention, riverbank stabilisation with tree planting, seasonal seed collection and propagation. In between there's plenty of fun to be had, with hiking, white water activities on the Barrington river and mountain biking on the purpose-built riverside trails at the Steps camp ground. At the end of each day, take a quick dip in the rapids at The Steps or relax by the fire in the tipi chill-out zone. Evening entertainment includes eco spotlighting, star gazing and campfire games. Awesome!
Our Eco-camp run in conjunction with the DoE Gold Residential Project and offers you a journey with a purpose and a place for personal growth. Other lifelong skills achieved are teamwork, self-reliance, determination and cooperation.
