Camp Experience That Builds Confidence, Connection & Community
CYC Blue Lagoon offers an environment where students grow in teamwork, independence and confidence through engaging, hands-on experiences by the sea. Our programs are fun, affordable and designed to align with F–10 based experiential learning outcomes while promoting social and emotional growth.
Teachers appreciate how easy we make it. From program planning and booking to coordinating transport and visits to nearby Tasmanian attractions. Our experienced coordinators take care of every detail so educators can focus on creating meaningful, memorable learning experiences for their students.
Easier School Camp Planning
CYC Blue Lagoon Makes Camp planning easier for Teachers
Traditionally the most frustrating part of organising camp is the administration: allocating rooms, organising special diets and arranging support for any medical or special need requirements. With our easy to use self-service portal this is a thing of the past, with group leaders now able to upload information to us easily as well as download important information such as Risk Assessments and compliance documentation.
Our program planning staff will liaise with your group leader to ensure that we meet your specific learning objectives. Through instructor-led outdoor education activities programmed to complement your own school program, or a full camp program with instructor-led outdoor education activities – from design through to implementation.
We look forward to working together with you to create a memorable experience for you and your members.
