Students enjoy camping out in a tent with friends. Many students have not been camping before, so a tent construction and pack up are demonstrated.
If students are camping out at the Centre, campouts can be combined with a campfire at night.
It is also possible for students to camp away from the Centre at locations such as Conical Island, Humpy Island, Considine Beach and Bald Hill and these may incur a small additional fee for National Park Camping Permits. If students are camping away from the Centre, adequate preparation time must be allocated to allow for preparation of students backpacks, related equipment and travel time. The Centre can provide about ten tents, ten backpacks, and ten trangias.
A campout links well with talks on Minimal Impact Living and food preparation activities such as dehydrating food.
