Go Bush
A short walk from camp, up in the bush, lie the bush huts. The four huts each sleep 24 people and are serviced by one flushing toilet in its own housing. It is possible to set up a temporary kitchen area in a small marquee or large tent and be self sufficient, or guests can opt to walk back to camp for meals and activities. The bush huts offer an opportunity to rotate guests between outdoor living and the “home comfort” of the cottages, cabins and dormitories.
Bush Walk
The bush walk is located up Turner Rd and through Gate 8. Follow the path to an area of beautiful bush. Here you can wander through the trees, or fumble your away along the Burma trail if the sun has already set. From the top of the hill follow the loop down through native bush and then back up through pines. The swing bridge transports you across the water, but remember it only supports one person at a time. Alongside the track are 18 short, numbered posts near plants and trees which people can identify from the list on a map.
It is recommended that between 45 minutes and 1 hour are allowed in your programme to give everyone walking, time to relish the experience.
Burma Trail
A reliance on the sense of touch, hearing and concentration is developed as children experience the Burma Trail. The trail starts at the beginning of the Bush Walk, and winds down through the bush. This trail is best at night but if it looks too daunting for younger children it can be used in daylight with blindfolds to make it challenging.
Orienteering
There are a choice of orienteering options, one using a compass and one without. Both courses use camp landmarks as points of reference. These activities are good for individual use or for small groups. To add a competitive element participants can be timed.
