School Camps

WIlderness Escape Outdoor Adventures has been operating School Camps for many of Adelaide and South Australia's schools for almost 20 years. We currently operate more than 100 school camps and outdoor education programs per year. Our school camps range from day activities or overnight bunkhouse camps, to extended expedition style camps. Every school we deal with has a school camp program individually designed to accommodate the age and experience of the students, the desired activities, destination, seasonal requirements and the schools' desired learning outcomes.

WEOA Philosophy of Outdoor Education

Providing a gradual and varied camping experience through each year level the student will gain concepts and skills that will set the foundations for life and personal growth.  By taking the school camp experience a piece at a time stretching the boundaries with each step the student will therefore be able to appreciate the experience for what it is and not be shocked by living  in the bush or sleeping in a tent.  The development of a self-sufficient skill level to ultimately give students the ability to make knowledgeable choices about the outdoor experiences they then take on, whether it be in further education or a personal expedition. 
Increasing the level of challenge and experience helps the students develop a sense of satisfaction through the achievements made.  The students also have the opportunity to develop life tools to take away from their school camp experience, such as personal responsibility for what they can achieve, problem solving, independence as a leader and the ability to work with others.
