ADVENTURE | CONFIDENCE | CONNECTION
School camps that build confidence, resilience and connection through outdoor adventure.
School camps are about more than time away from school. They give students the opportunity to discover what they are capable of, strengthen friendships and create memories that last long after the bus ride home.
Whether you are looking for a simple venue hire or a fully catered and facilitated camp experience, Woodhouse makes planning easier with flexible packages, unique outdoor adventures and a dedicated team to support you every step of the way.
Why schools choose Woodhouse
Just 25 minutes from Adelaide, Woodhouse combines flexible camp packages, purpose-built group accommodation and 54 hectares of outdoor adventure.
Every camp includes access to self-led experiences including Challenge Hill, The Labyrinth, Disc Golf, Cameron’s Climb and orienteering.
Choose from accommodation-only packages through to fully catered and facilitated camp experiences.
Planning resources, risk assessments, online participant management and dedicated support help make organising camp easier.
Shared outdoor experiences help students develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, communication and stronger connections.
More than a school camp
Some of the most important lessons do not happen in a classroom. Through shared adventures, outdoor challenges and time away together, students discover new strengths, learn to support one another and develop skills they can carry back to school and beyond.
Students step outside their comfort zones and discover what they are capable of.
Collaborative challenges strengthen communication, leadership and problem-solving.
Outdoor adventure encourages adaptability, perseverance and positive risk-taking.
Shared experiences strengthen friendships, belonging and classroom culture.
Flexible camp options
Every package starts with two nights of bunk accommodation, indoor group spaces, a commercial kitchen and access to self-led outdoor activities. Simply choose how much catering, facilitation and planning support you would like from our team.

TAKE THE ADVENTURE OUTSIDE
Give students the chance to experience camping in a supported outdoor setting, with Woodhouse tents, roll mats and facilitated setup and pack-down all included.
Choose a full two-night tenting experience, or combine tents and bunk accommodation across the stay. For larger groups, splitting students between tents and bunks can also increase overall camp capacity, while giving everyone the chance to experience both styles of accommodation.
Catering can be served at the nearby Basecamp or alongside the remainder of your group.
For Gold and Ultimate camps, practical camping skills can also form part of the facilitated program, helping students build confidence, independence and hands-on outdoor skills.
