Come together for a week of fun, excitement, educational opportunities and to hang out with other home schoolers. The program is sure to delight all ages and stages of home schooling. With activities including a facilitated discus golf session, table tennis lessons, giant games, circus skills, fire lighting, beading, survival workshops, candle making, storytelling, make a Uthando doll to send to Africa to support literacy education, movie nights, a Bush Dance, two whole of camp dinners included, The Sands Family famous Crazy Bikes, the flying fox, mechanics workshops, metal work, arts, electronic exploration, writing, sewing, personal health and development; and so much more; really, the question is; what haven't we included!

We've got the quintessential camp experiences of damper, heaps of space to ride your bikes (don't forget to bring them!), trivia night, a much requested Talent Show evening, along with more unique experiences you might only find on a home school camp (knife skills, hatchet skills, ship wright knot tying, solar boat challenges and cultural activities).

Important note: this camp is a self-catered camp. Please bring all food items. Monday night has a catered meal which is included in the ticket price, and Thursday evening has a BBQ which is included in the ticket price.

All other meals are to be provided by yourself.

You will have the option of selecting to camp or stay in a shared dormitory hut (limited power sites allocated to first in best dressed), Mum's/Grandma's/Aunt's can choose to book in for a massage (sorry, no men by request of the provider), and the all new Hobart Tree Climb which people are raving about is now available too as an optional extra-cost activity.

Once we have received your deposit you will be issued an invoice which will itemise all your options (accommodation, extra cost activities booked, number of people etc). Unless we specify it's an extra cost activity (massage, Hobart Tree Climb) all program items are inclusive (eg: vikings, bush dance, sausage sizzle, popcorn at the move etc).

The due date on the invoice is the latest all balances must be paid so we can pay for the site, insurances and any facilitators requiring payment. Payment plans are an option available.

Additionally, if you have children with health needs and the extra time to set up and settle them in advance of the main arrival time is beneficial for yours and their well-being, this is an option for you by booking 'early check in.'
