OutBeyond Holiday Program - Mornington Peninsula 2021

All expenses for our holiday camps are fully covered in the overall cost. Students will not need to bring any spending money to camp.

Sorry, this camp is just for the kids!!!

This program has been designed for two groups of students. The junior camp is for kids between the ages of 9 - 11 and the middle camp for the kids between the ages of 12 - 14.

For senior students who are 15 years and  over, we will be running a Duke of Edinburgh program later in the year.

Just like our School Camps, we only use accredited group accommodation facilities that have undergone additional in-house risk assessment by our schools program operational planning team.

Our accommodation policy is to allocate rooms by gender, manage the proximity between rooms and group students into appropriate age levels.

OutBeyond has an inclusive model for all camper medical requirements, however we are limited in some instances in the service we can provide for some high-dependency medical and physical requirements.

We do our very best to tailor experiences if needed, a conversation with our Operations staff will be required in these instances. For all medical requirements, you must fully disclose your camper’s medical requirements and provide our team with your medical management plan, medication and any other items we may need in order for our staff to deliver a safe and enjoyable experience.

Yes,  we deal with varied dietary requirements / restrictions and enjoy supporting and providing parents and students with peace of mind. Food is one of the most important factors of camp enjoyment. Please notify us of the dietary requirements and we will ensure that they are met.

We are passionate about healthy eating and positive nutrition for children. We have adopted the principles of the Healthy Eating Association. We believe in food provenance and educating children on where their food comes from. Local produce and eating local has many broader community benefits.

Students will eat 3 meals per day, with plenty of fresh snacks for morning and afternoon tea.

Getting in touch with your child on camp can be done through the Program Coordinator who will be your best point of contact on the ground. Prior to camp you will be given the contact details of the Operations Manager and the Camp Program Coordinator.  They will happily pass on any message on or where possible put your child/student on the phone.                                                                                          

We do try and limit communication as a way of having our campers build on their independence but we of course are happy to have a plan in place on your advice if needed.                                                    

We have no mobile phones or electronic devices on camp to enhance the child's experience, to be present, engage with other participants and for their own safety. Students that want to take photos can use the team cameras.

OutBeyond reserves the right to remove phones from campers at the beginning of camp and will be returned to students at the end of camp.

Camper safety and wellbeing is our number one priority. As mentioned above, we work with thousands of Australian school students every year. OutBeyond is an accredited outdoor education and travel provider endorsed by the Australian Federal Government’s Austrade Future Unlimited License to deliver international education experiences to students.

Our program locations, venues and activities undergo regular safety and risk assessment prior, during and after the successful delivery of camp. We have taken all reasonable measures to ensure that we adhere to the Child Wellbeing and Safety Act 2005 (Vic.).

A full camper equipment list will be provided upon receiving your booking confirmation. The items on the camper equipment list are similar to most other camps that your child/student has attended.

OutBeyond will provide all camping, outdoor and activity equipment such as; Tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, safety equipment, etc. Campers are welcome to bring their own personal outdoor/camp/travel equipment, we just ask that is of suitable standard for our outdoor adventures.

We work with thousands of students every year, running school camps for Australian schools.

With that responsibility we must adhere to strict guidelines and regulations set by the relevant authorities such as the Ministry of Education, Department of Education, IATA and the Adventure Activity Standards.

As set by the Department of Education and in conjunction with the AAS guidelines, OutBeyond assumes duty of care for the entirety of the program.

Our staff ratios are maintained at a minimum of 1:6 students to adults.

Students are under constant supervision by our program staff and never left unaccompanied during program activities.
