School Programs

Wild Mountains offers a range of truly unique school camps. We welcome primary through to secondary. We also welcome university groups. From overnight, to a week or longer. We can work with you to create a bespoke program. Choose from themes including leadership, team-building, conservation, wellbeing or earth education.

Our camp is high up on the Macpherson Range, located in subtropical rainforest, with stunning views to the valley below. It is an opportunity for students (and teachers) to reconnect with the natural world. We offer space for quiet contemplation and reflection in magical settings.

We offer opportunities to work successfully together. The off-grid centre complete with solar power, rainwater collection and compost toilets offer opportunities for students to learn about eco building, sustainable design and development. There is also an opportunity to complement your camp with a break from devices and high-speed technology.

    Earth Keepers is a captivating journey to find the mysterious character “EM”.

    Students receive a letter from EM inviting them to the Earth Keepers training centre. Upon arrival, they enter EM’s lab and so the exciting journey begins.

    Students are deeply engaged in hands on learning experiences that teach 4 ecological concepts:

    1) The flow of sunlight energy

    2) The cycling of materials

    3) The inter-relationships between plants and animals

    4) Change over time

    Students are immersed in the natural world with sensory based activities that leave them feeling connected to the earth through earth walks and the “Seasons” play.

    Students are given time to integrate their learnings and experiences through quiet reflection “magic spots”. This is usually a favourite activity.

    On camp, students will receive their K and E keys for the Knowledge and Experience part of the program. By completing the follow up activities at home and school, students can receive their Y and S keys for the Yourself and Sharing part of the program.
