Every CRU Educational Camp is individually designed and planned by our Programming Team working with your school to deliver camps that meet your intended goals and educational outcomes. With over 40 different outdoor activities and a wide variety of games, group activities and team-based challenges, campers will be challenged, have fun, grow and learn skills on camp.
Purpose-built activities which are located at our campsites, CRU Lake Mac and CRU Galston Gorge, have been designed to engage and challenge campers from primary school through to Year 12. The CRU Educational Camps team also run camps at other campsites located in different environments that offer access to additional activities.
