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.

Will we have sole occupancy of the camp for our group?

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.

What is the pre-arrival process and timeline?

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:

  • 6 weeks before arrival: The Party Leader will receive an Important Group Camp Information Email which outlines the deadlines of when specific information will be required
  • 4 weeks before arrival: The Party Leader will need to advise us of final numbers of attendees as well as gender splits to assign rooming. Party leaders will also discuss activity preferences at this time.
  • 2 weeks before arrival: We provide the Party Leader with the Activity Program and Rooming Plan. The Party Leader will need to provide us with Dietary and Medical requirements for all attendees (staff and students)
  • 1 week before arrival: The Party Leader will receive an email from us confirming all details and advising them to contact us if they have any questions or would like to secure their booking dates for the following year.

Where do I find documents about risk assessments for the activities?

Risk assessments and activity descriptions are available here.

Are the group camps accredited?

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.

What are the expected standards of behaviour in a group camp?

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

Please read our Code of Conduct

Are group camps covered by public liability insurance, and what is the limit of liability?

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