Situated on a 400 acre property near the old mining town of Glenn Valley, on the Upper Mitta Mitta River, north of Omeo, Mittagundi is a home away from home for more than 500 young people each year.

At Mittagundi we provide programs for young people (14-17yrs) to explore Victoria's High Country and themselves. Participants spend time bush walking, camping, abseiling from nearby cliffs, rafting the Mitta Mitta River and helping to run the farm. The Atmosphere at Mittagundi is simple, honest and happy. There are no watches, no timetables and no money. Instead, there is an opportunity for young people to live and work together in an environment where people matter more than anything else.

During our programs we ask all young people to uphold four values respect, responsibility, fairness, safety and deliver these values in a fun environment. We like to make the course available to as many young people as possible so deliver the program at an incredible low rate. We also offer sponsorships. We aim to provide challenging and meaningful experiences to young people using the natural bush and a simple lifestyle as a unique leveller. The young people who attend Mittagundi courses are from a variety of backgrounds, and encourage no more than 4-6 young people from the same school per course* so that the young people are away from their normal peer groups. All pickup, excluding winter programs, are at Albury train station or arrangements can be also made for a pick up at Bairnsdale train station.

During winter season and at intervals throughout the year we accept mixed gender school groups.

10 day programs for 14-18 year-olds. Pick up at Albury or Bairnsdale train station. Transport can be arranged to and from the campsite and nearby venues.
