Because EVERY child deserves an outdoor learning adventure

At PGL, we believe in the transformative power of outdoor learning. We see it first hand, every day. How it builds confidence, resilience, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. But we know that not every child has an opportunity to benefit from these life-enriching experiences. For many, the cost of outdoor adventure is simply out of reach. That’s where our Hardship Fund comes in.

Our Hardship Fund provides financial support to schools with students who need it the most, allowing their young people to experience an outdoor learning adventure. Through our Hardship Fund we’re not just providing funding – we’re unlocking potential.

Our Hardship funding is available for trips taken during Terms 2 and 3 across our exciting range of programs. 

With the perfect mix of adventure, fun and learning for your students, PGL offers dedicated school camps tailored to the learning requirements of primary and secondary school children.

Our activities and challenges are designed to link in with Australian school curriculums, giving your group maximum educational value in addition to an amazing adventure packed full of memories.

Hardship Funds may be granted on a full or partial basis, depending on the need of the school and availability.
