Activities
Camp Columba offers a range of adventure activities on site with programs also operating off-site. Activities are available to all groups that visit us but they must be pre-booked. Some adventure activities require a qualified instructor, some require speacialist supervision and some require adult supervision.
Kayaking
We have a pond on-site that is the perfect spot to learn to paddle. You will hone your paddling technique and gain confidence in your skills under the watchful eye of an instructor through skill development disguised as games.
Speed slide
Slip into one of our sacks and be prepared to get some serious air. Once you go down, you'll want to do it again. An adult is required to supervise the slide.
Flying Fox
Here's a classic example of how much fun you can have when you overcome your fears. Step off the tower and enjoy the ride. After you have one go, go again and see if you can drop the ball in the bucket on your way by. It's not as easy as it sounds.
Two adults are needed for this activity - one at the start and one at the finish.
Climbing
Our climbing wall angles so that you can either overhang or underhang! Four different climbs offering varying degrees of difficulty are offered. The climbing wall requires an instructor to make sure everything is safe.
Bush Craft
Bush craft looks at the environment care code, hypothermia, how to build a stretcher from just a piece of rope and bivvy making. Adult supervision is required.
Team Building
We have a whole lot of fun team building activities in the forest. Can you and your team scale the great wall, get everyone through the spider web and escape the triangle mania? These are great activities for helping develop communication, team work, problem solving and trust amongst group members.
High Ropes
Our high ropes course will challenge you like you've never been challenged before, whether it's jumping off a pole into the unknown or sitting on a toilet seat 10 meters in the air. Try out the Postie Walk, the Multi-vine, the Buoy Walk or play on our Vertical Play Pen. This is a great activity for those Y7 and above. An instructor is required for this activity.
Raft Building
We provide the materials, you provide the know how. Once you've built your floating monstrosity, put it in the water and take up the challenge of rescuing half of your group from the other side of the pond. Be quick, the clock is ticking. The activity requires two adults who are competent swimmers.
Abseiling
We have three different abseil sites - a 4 metre starting wall, our abseil tower and our natural rock face. An instructor is required for this activity.
Water slide
Slip and slide away down the hill. It's wet, it's fast, it's fun! An adult supervisor is all that's needed for this activity.
