The Portsea Camp (Portsea, Victoria)
Outdoor Activity Leader
Join Our Experiences Team – Become an Experiences Leader at The Portsea Camp!
ABOUT US
Unleashing Unlimited Potential
Every child deserves the chance to explore their potential, find joy, and build a hopeful future. However, many of the children we support have been denied these opportunities due to economic hardship, family instability, trauma, or social isolation.
At The Portsea Camp, we’re rewriting their stories. Through structured, evidence-informed programs that go far beyond recreation, we empower children with confidence, resilience and real-world life skills. Our goal is not just to give them a week of happiness—but to fundamentally alter the trajectory of their lives.
Rooted in a proud legacy dating back to the 1940s, The Portsea Camp today is a thriving community of staff, volunteers and young people from across metropolitan and rural Victoria. Each year, we support over 10,000 children and welcome more than 250 volunteers. Through a deep connection to nature, social connection, outdoor adventure and trauma-informed care, we help children grow into healthier, happier versions of themselves—because every child deserves the chance to shine.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re on the lookout for dynamic and enthusiastic Experiences Leaders to join our casual pool.
As an Experiences Leader, you’ll lead engaging, adventure-filled activities that help children grow in confidence, connection, and joy. Whether it's high ropes, kayaking, beach hikes, creativity, or wellbeing workshops, you’ll guide campers safely and joyfully through experiences they’ll never forget.
This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real impact on young lives, be part of an energetic and supportive team, and grow your own leadership skills along the way.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re energetic, reliable, and love working outdoors with young people. We’re especially keen to hear from those with experience in camp, education, recreation, or youth work—but if you’ve got the right attitude and passion, we’ll provide the training to back it up.

Wilderness Escape has been providing schools and other groups with quality outdoor programs for 28 years and is the largest provider of school camps, excursions and outdoor pursuits in South Australia and one of the largest on a national scale. We provide outdoor experiences to schools from a junior primary level up to senior secondary.
Our aim is to improve the relationship that people have with the outdoors and enjoy a range of recreational and educational experiences. We utilise outdoor settings as a means of escape from social stresses; to gain better understanding of ourselves; improve our relationships with others and find enjoyment associating within groups away from our structured surroundings.
South Australia is a great place to run outdoor programs as we can offer diverse activities and environments all year round. The added variety of conducting day programs, base camps and journey expeditions helps to give balance.
We are seeking passionate and enthusiastic instructors; people who have multiple qualifications. We take care to give variety of programs to reduce burnout. Work all year round is a refreshing reward when people come to South Australia.
Training and upskilling is advantageous and something we encourage and provide. We have an extensive training calendar as we believe multi skilling continues to be a win/win.
