In addition to our under roof camp, we offer an incredible creekside campsite, just a creek crossing to hike the National Park! Perfect for combining a mixed dorm & tent based experience for 5 day camps.

Food was excellent for all meals. Staff were friendly and explicit in their instructions. We felt safe and comfortable. Schedule was well planned and just the right amount of downtime. An awesome experience. Staff and students loved it.

5/5

The Staff were brilliant – so welcoming to all St Kevins staff and made everyone feel welcome. They all worked exceptionally well with our students and they were clearly experienced and responded well to the needs of our group. Hannah and Ali were awesome to work with in the planning stages (Hannah) and running of the day (Ali). The boys were so impressed with the food – which is not something we often hear. The facilities and activities offered a good level of challenge.
