Students will work together as they navigate their way throughout the park on our journey based camp program. Learning about the ecology of the Otways, students will take part in amazing outdoor adventure activities such as surfing, snorkeling, rafting, canoeing, sea kayaking, bushwalking, rock climbing and more. As they take on active leadership roles they will be responsible for managing their day to day tasks and challenges.
