School Camps

Scouts SA and the team at Woodhouse are school camp specialists in South Australia!

School camps offer students an important opportunity to step out of the classroom and into a world of experiential learning, playing a crucial role in the holistic development of young minds.

Through team-building activities, outdoor challenges, and shared responsibilities, students learn the value of collaboration, effective communication, and problem-solving. Away from the familiar environment of their daily routines, they are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences. These experiences cultivate resilience, adaptability, and self-confidence, enabling students to tackle future obstacles with a positive mindset.

In an increasingly connected yet often disconnected world, face-to-face interactions and meaningful relationships are more important than ever. Camps create an environment that fosters camaraderie, empathy, and respect among peers. Students forge new friendships, learn to appreciate diversity, and develop a sense of belonging within a supportive community. Connections formed during camp often extend beyond the duration of the trip, creating lifelong bonds and memories.

Woodhouse organises EVERYTHING! Catering, full activity program and facilitation by trained staff between 9-5 each day, as well as a range of evening activities for all to enjoy.

We’ll work in with your curriculum to ensure we complement your school program, offering you the opportunity to hand-pick the educational activities (there's more than 20 to choose from!) or select one of our curated outcome-based packages with a focus on team building, adrenaline, nature or survival.

Each package is designed to build skills sequentially, taking a constructive approach to learning that helps students draw on knowledge they already have, and connect the new skills they are learning to those past experiences, for more authentic and deeper learning. It's not all about learning new skills, but also providing opportunities for students to grow in confidence, try new things, and break out of their comfort zones.
