Camps For Schools
Students Explore Australia has a wide range of school camp programs that cater to students from primary school all the way to senior high school. We have served numerous school groups on their outdoor educational experiences, and specifically tailor programs to match requested learning outcomes for your classes. We have different camp locations across South Australia, Victoria and Northern Territory with each location offering something unique and exciting for student groups. In our school camps, students and even teachers get to have enriching learning experiences to treasure after the program. At the end of a day full of activities, teachers are treated to creature comforts, and students also get to enjoy comfortable facilities.
Our Aim For Participants
Here at Students Explore Australia, we actively foster lasting friendships between students and their peers. We also help students nurture a positive connection with their wellbeing, a connection with their own education and a connection with the natural world around them.
We encourage students to have a positive relation with their education through programs that are designed to be fun and engaging. Our programs help students find happiness in learning – which can motivate them in their studies and help them find passion areas. As a result of these fun educational activities, our camps for schools lead to students building a positive relationship with their own learning.
Nurturing friendships between students and their peers is also a hugely important part of what we do. We help students get a sense of belonging and create a supportive social network for themselves, which is crucial in their self-development.
Additionally, our unique wellbeing programs allow students to experience the mental and emotional benefits of connecting with nature. Our wellbeing program directly addresses the 4 elements of the Personal and Social Capabilities – as outlined in the Australian Curriculum. These elements are: Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness and Social Management.
