Scout Camps Filled with Adventure

A weekend at Glenhaven Park gives scouts the opportunity to develop practical skills, confidence and independence in a safe, supportive setting. Outdoor activities can encourage communication, problem-solving and leadership while giving participants the chance to try something new.

Our experienced activity hosts work with group leaders to create an itinerary suited to the age, experience and abilities of your participants. Activities can be balanced with free time, team challenges and group reflection, helping create a camp that feels active without becoming overwhelming.

Football Team Building and Club Camps

A weekend away can be a valuable opportunity for football teams to strengthen relationships away from the field. Team challenges and outdoor activities encourage players to communicate, support one another and work towards shared goals in a different setting.

Whether you are preparing for a new season, celebrating a successful year or building connections within a junior club, Glenhaven Park can help create a programme that combines adventure with downtime. Coaches and club leaders can focus on their participants while our team assists with scheduling and activity coordination.

Catering for Every Group

Feeding a large group is easier when meals are prepared on-site. Our kitchen team can cater for a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, coeliac and allergy requirements. We collect dietary information through a simple process so meals can be planned carefully before your arrival.

Support for Organisers

We understand that group leaders need clear information before approving a camp. Glenhaven Park can provide relevant planning support, including activity risk assessments, staff qualification details and public liability information. Our team can also help coordinate your weekend timetable, so your leaders are not left managing every detail.

Glenhaven Park Adventure Activities

All of our activities are based on experiential learning that encourages individuals to participate in a group environment and work to a level of challenge which stretches them but is not threatening. Safety is our priority so all our activities are conducted by qualified and experienced staff members using industry approved techniques; we provide all necessary safety equipment which are professionally maintained.

High Ropes Course

Our high ropes course is a series of cables, platforms, ropes, and tires. The platforms are 10 metres above the ground.

Giant Swing

The Giant Swing is always a favourite because it’s extremely exhilarating and fun! After being harnessed in by our instructor, the rest of the group pull the participant to the top of the swing (or as high as they want to go).

Low Ropes Course

Using cables, ropes and wooden beams strung among poles, teams explore risk taking, leadership and communication. The low ropes course adventure also highlights problem-solving, coaching and collaboration.

Giants Ladder

A great team relationship activity. Done in pairs, the giant’s ladder is a powerful tool. Imagine a ladder eight feet wide and 10 metres high with logs for rungs.

Initiatives

Initiatives are best described as team building challenges that focus more on planning, problem solving, and creative thinking, than on physical ability.

Leap of Faith

Participants must muster all their confidence and courage to climb to the top of our 10 metre pamper pole, before they put their faith in themselves to jump and reach to catch the mid-air suspended trapeze.

Tower Challenge

Utilising crates the team must help the participant create a tower within a time frame that challenges their ability to problem solve and work co-operatively for the best achievable outcome.

Orienteering

Orienteering is a sport wherein participants must navigate from one point to another using a map. Participants develop strategies to navigate from one site to another.

Bush Skills

An activity designed to show the advantages of team work as participants work in groups to gather food, water, shelter and fire to aid the group survival.

Archery

Archery helps improve concentration, boosts confidence, and self-image. It’s a sport that’s fun, but also allows participants of any age or skill level to compete against others or challenge themselves individually.

Recycling

Encouraging sustainability we tell the story of what to recycle and where recycled goods go, with a game and a tour of our composting area where the good bugs grow!

Warm up games

Are activities which provide an opportunity for group members to have fun; they lead to lots of interaction between each other and focus on effort rather than success/failure.

Aboriginal Dreaming

Starting with a Kaurna Dreaming story we explore the natural world through paint and then write a story using traditional Aboriginal imagery.

Planets

We explore the universe and our relation to it, art & craft activities including the making of a giant sun that will be the centrepiece of the camp dining room for the duration of the camp (this activity is on day 1 of camp).
