PGL Camp Rumbug

A cross between trampolining, basketball and volleyball – it’s an exhilarating, high-energy sport. Four players learn the basics required – then spring into action! The aim is to get the ball in the opposing player’s net. As well as being lots of fun, your students will develop team tactics and improve communication skills along the way.

Our qualified archery instructors teach basic archery skills – students will need accuracy, control and a steady hand. The instructors encourage students to develop their technique and show awareness of all safety measures.

Traditional games including cricket, basketball, five-a-side soccer and volleyball can be played to develop skills, learning and the use of tactics in a small team environment.

Learn how to build a shelter in an on-site ‘wilderness’ environment and operate as a team. Basic survival skills such as building a shelter, water filtration, knot craft and signalling are developed by the group during the design of their camp layout. Key responsibilities are identified and shared by the team who work together to get the most from the ‘wilderness’ experience.

Experience one of our most popular activities and take to the water in a canoe. Challenging and fun, students learn and develop paddling techniques, teamwork and communication skills using a combination of games and instruction both on land and afloat.

Travelling at high speed suspended and harnessed from an overhead cable isn’t something forgotten easily! Determination, courage and exceeding limitations are qualities often observed.

The ultimate test of nerve and joint decision-making! Members of the group haul the Giant Swing 10 metres into the air with two people in the harness. When both participants agree, they pull the ripcord and swing towards the ground at high speed. The question is…how high will you go?

Students participate individually and as part of a team to complete a number of mental challenges, some of which may also require some physical ability to complete. Planning, making decisions and communicating with each other are all skills required in order to accomplish a set task.

It’s an exercise in teamwork and friendly cooperation. Your groups objective, in teams of three, is to climb to the top of a suspended ladder of logs. The gaps between each log become wider, the higher you go. Pushing up, pulling up, standing on shoulders – it’s all about working together to achieve a joint purpose.

This individual challenge requires determination and courage to climb a six-metre pole. Each student can succeed within their own parameters – even if they don’t make the final dive for the trapeze.

Less than a metre off the ground, this activity promotes teamwork and communication. Students negotiate a series of obstacles and challenges which are not as easy or as straightforward as they appear!

Students are introduced to practical map reading by working in small groups on a number of courses. They develop map reading skills by locating control points within the boundary of the centre. Decision making, symbol recognition and judgement of distance travelled are all required.

Build it well or you are likely to get wet! Promoting teamwork, planning and communication skills, students work together to build a raft from different components that will float and which they can steer.

A variety of fun adventure activities with physical challenges which require cooperation and participation from everybody in order to complete.
