The Portsea Camp has, as one of their mission objectives, the desire to provide an exceptional holiday experience for underprivileged children. But when they aren't doing that they are available for school camps, weekend get-to-gethers, functions and any sort of group who want to have a wonderful and memorable experience.

Accommodation in cabins or bunks with historic buildings and a great atmosphere. Plenty of exciting activities like kayaking, high ropes course, giant swing, ball games of all sorts, on and off the site recreational activities - activities can be tailored to your group.

Caring staff who also ensure a healthy and varied meals plan and take care of allergies if you require.

It's a great place to have fresh air and freedom as well as be challenged and grow as a person finding their own potential.

My son just came home from three days there ... exhausted but totally exhilarated. I'm amazed at what he achieved. Plus they also got him to have a shower and change his clothes. Wow.

They've been around for 60 years and judging by the necessity of booking early, will be around for many more.

Approximate cost: $260
