Residential programs

Introduction to Residential programs:

Our Residential programs offer a comprehensive outdoor education experience that extends beyond a single day. By immersing students in a residential setting, we create a unique opportunity for personal and academic growth, fostering independence and a deeper connection with the natural world. 

Based from one of our Residential facilities across Victoria, we can offer students a supported experience while participating in a range of adventurous and educational activities, including but not limited to bike riding, walking, surfing and environmental studies. Programs from our sites are designed to provide students with safe and supported experiences that will still challenge and inspire them. Our residential experiences can include components of our Journey-Based and Expedition programs.  

Program highlights: 

  • Safe and comfortable accommodation in beautiful natural surroundings. 
  • Structured programs that balance academic, personal, and recreational activities. 
  • Expert instruction in outdoor skills, environmental studies, and team building. 
  • Time for reflection, goal setting, and personal development. 
  • Evening activities and campfire sessions that build camaraderie and encourage socialization. 

    At Auscamp, we understand the need for individualised programs. That’s why we offer complete flexibility to ensure we meet the specific needs and experience for each school. Contact us today to learn more about how we can support your school on your journey.
