The Outdoor Education Group

Beautiful new office, well set up and full of incredible people working hard to get more young people outdoors.

One of the worst experiences of my life. I'm an experienced camper (I've been camping regularly since I was a baby) and the leaders lacked the skills to keep our group informed and sheltered. Not to mention, as having heart issues, I fainted and was told to keep going on the hike. Food portion sizing was fit for mice maybe, not 15 yr Olds doing 40+K walking and cycling a day. It was made clear to the leader (ash) that I had an eating disorder and I needed to be fed higher calorie meals, as my body needed that to repair from the strenuous exercise. 2/5 nights, I didnt get a dinner.please, oeg, look into your group leaders. They need compassion, as were only kids. You can only push us so much.

If I could I would give it a 0. This was ultimately the worst camp experience I have had. My school came to this place late last year. The leaders name was Maddie and made several extremely disgusting and inappropriate jokes. This made my peers and I extremely uncomfortable. This inappropriateness transferred into asking the teacher on a date. This also included horrific swear words. Nobody wants to be sleeping in a tent with holes on a freezing and raining night. The cycling was just blatantly stupid. Up a hill the leader was riding at the pace of a snail. The food portions were tiny. 2 kg of pasta for 16 people is bad enough yet alone the leader eating all the snacks. Overall this camp was putrid. I will not be coming back here and I hope that you improve your camp experience for future students.

Extremely fun and memorable. Mads and Hash were excellent guides. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful organisation, with the mission to engage all kids in the outdoors. Great people doing great work!

Outdated food and drinks

Fantastic schools camps. This organisation have a way of inspiring kids and allowing room for them to grow while they enjoy nature. Very impressive

Cancelled our school camp with only 2 weeks notice leaving kids disappointed and parents hundreds of $$$ out of pocket on equipment they were told was necessary. All this after kids missing out on camp in 2020. Avoid and look elsewhere.

This group markets to schools under the guise of minimal risk and reduced organisation.Reality is they provide a cloned experience that shows no flexibility to group needs or changing weather conditions. The camps are quite expensive even when you factor in hire of their sub standard equipment. We've had our children attend 3 camps over 2 schools so can no longer dismiss the fact that kids leave midway due to a poorly managed camp experience. Multiple children were taken to hospital with hypothermia on a camp in April. It is sad that the class teacher's abilty to make decisions is undermined by OEG . There is no evidence of fluid planning and no contingency. The support crew is insufficient so they just won't take any students requiring adjustments. OEG's priority is to maximise fees...even if this means some kids will leave with an experience 'from hell'
