Around one hour north of Sydney you will find our Lake Macquarie camp tucked away on the shores of Dora and Stockton creek. Boasting expansive open spaces and riverfronts that wrap around camp, it is a charming site with lots to explore.
Activities are spread throughout the lush bushland surrounding the camp, where you can rise above the treetops on the Power Fan, or zip through the bush on the Flying Fox. Despite being our smallest camp, our sprawling spaces at Lake Mac can sometimes make it feel like your school has the whole bush to itself. Its prime location and flexible layout give teachers endless options to create tailor-made learning experiences that hit both curriculum goals and adventure highs.
With all the accommodations and amenities located at the heart of the camp, you will not have to trek far for meals or showers, ensuring a hassle-free camp experience. Lake Mac boasts an impressive 30 action-packed activities across the sprawling 40-acre property giving you lots of opportunities to test your bush skills and bravery.
At Lake Mac we tailor our programs to meet your specific outcome objective, whether that be curriculum focussed, personal growth or team development. If curriculum is key, we have got you covered with options like Life Ready, Anti-Bullying programs, and Rock and Water, see the full list here. These can be added to our already fun and engaging outdoor programs so students and teachers can tick off both boxes.
Lake Mac offers a fantastic range of facilities to make your camp unforgettable, including:
- 30 on site activities
