Serving the school children of NSW and QLD for 30 years

The ideal low cost alternative for Years 4 to 12 school children, an adventure camp on a 400 acre farm bordered by the rainforests of the Tweed Valley, just 2 hours south of Brisbane and 3 hours north of Coffs Harbour.

Some of our schools have been coming to Midginbil Hill for 25 years and over 95% of our school guests return every year. Some have left us to try other camps, and nearly all have returned due to the high standards we have set.

Our camps are designed for groups from 25-125 but we can accommodate smaller and larger groups on request.  Why not contact us now for a quote?

Teachers comments

"It has been an excellent experience for the kids and we have seen a co-operation between students that has not been evident at school.

The easy and relaxed structure of the camp has given our students a camp that they will always remember.

We have appreciated the professionalism and expertise of your staff and it has resulted in relaxed and happy teachers." Teacher - NSW Secondary School.

" Thank you so much for the superb organisation and attention to detail you provided for our Year 6 camp.

All the staff were most professional in their manner during the activities which made the children feel comfortable and confident. This also allowed them to take risks both mentally and physically."

We also appreciated the catering and cleaning staff, the food was substantial and tasty and our accommodation clean.

We look forward to seeing you again next year." Principal - Qld Christian School.
