Group Camps

Group camps encompass a diverse range of educational and fun outdoor activities tailored to youth groups, faith groups, scout groups, girl guiding groups, charity groups, large group retreats and more. 

From team-building exercises and obstacle courses to workshops, our adventure camps help participants build resilience, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a sense of belonging within their respective groups. 

We can facilitate almost any type of group! During school term time we operate solely for school groups onsite, but on weekends and summer holidays, we can cater for corporate teams, outdoor enthusiasts, cultural groups, faith groups and church camps, and groups of families and friends. Our experience means that we can cater for many different requirements.

Here are some of the types of groups we’ve hosted:

Please note: pets are not permitted at any of our sites as we have a responsibility to protect the abundance of wildlife on our beautiful properties.

We can tailor a group camp package to suit your needs. We can provide all accommodation, activities, equipment and food, as well as a PGL Group Leader to support your group.  It all depends on what you need, so give our friendly staff a call on 1300 859 895 or email us on info@pgladventurecamps.com.au to discuss your specific requirements.

The process for booking a group camp is simple. You can submit an enquiry via our website, contact us via email at info@pgladventurecamps.com.au or call us on 1300 859 895 for any queries or to book your group. Our sales staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and will be able to help you out with any questions that you may have.

To secure your reservation, kindly confirm bookings at least 8 weeks before arrival. Regrettably, enquiries made within this timeframe cannot be accommodated, but we will gladly offer alternate dates. A 10% deposit is essential for confirming all bookings.

For more information, read our booking terms and conditions.

Yes, we do. For group bookings, we require a minimum of 40 people and a minimum duration of 2 nights. Please contact our Sales team on 1300 895 859 for more information.

As our facilities accommodate a large number of people, we cannot guarantee that all groups, particularly smaller groups, will have sole occupancy of the camp. Sole occupancy can often be arranged for an additional fee. Please speak with our Sales team on 1300 859 895 about your group’s specific requirements.

PGL have many years of experience in running camps and we have this down to a fine art. We work together with teachers/group leaders to ensure that you (and we) have all of the information that we need to provide an outstanding group camp experience. We rely on teachers/group leaders to provide the information requested in a timely manner. Here is a guideline to our timeframes:

Risk assessments and activity descriptions are available here.

PGL has been successfully operating camps in Australia since 2014 and comply with all relevant licencing requirements for the sector.
PGL undertakes Essential Safety Measures compliance annually, which ensures that our camps are well-maintained and safe. This includes compliance with air handling systems, exit doors, emergency lighting, emergency power supply, fire detection and control instruments and sprinkler systems.

Regarding activity standards in Australia, there is no mandatory qualification for activity providers. PGL has voluntarily submitted to the Australian Adventure Activity Standard (AAAS) and been assessed as meeting all requirements. As this is not a mandatory accreditation, we believe that this puts PGL in a favourable position to competitors who have not been independently assessed for activity safety.

Additionally, PGL is accredited by the Quality Tourism Framework (QTF) through the Australian Tourism Industry Council, signifying that we deliver a quality tourism experience. PGL is also accredited as a Camp and Adventure business under the same framework.

PGL is a member of the Australian Camps Association, a national peak body for camps and associated providers.

PGL staff will lead groups and instruct participants on activity sessions, teachers/group leaders continue to have responsibility for people’s behaviour and welfare. Please read our Code of Conduct

PGL holds and will provide certificates of currency of insurances each year, including public liability insurance to $30,000,000 cover.

Accommodation at each of our group camp locations is slightly different, but all guests are housed in comfortable, multi-share rooms, either with ensuite facilities or with toilet and shower facilities nearby. 

Group participants will need to pack a fitted sheet, pillow, sleeping bag and towel. Bedding can be arranged for an additional fee. Please see the individual camp pages below for specific details.
