School Camps

Camp Columba hosts schools from all over the South Island throughout the year for our school camps.

Partnered with Adventure Southland, Camp Columba offers the highest quality of adventure programming for schools.  A list and description of what we offer can be found on our Activities page.  You can also request a copy of our 'Schools Handbook'.  Please click here to notify our administrator that you would like a copy.

We work with teachers and parents to ensure that the students gain the maximum benefit from their time at camp. 


Children have great sense of pride after a day visit to Camp Columba

West Gore School took 3 classes of year 3/4 students to Camp Columba for a day trip. We rotated around the low ropes course, team games ran by the teachers and rock climbing ran by an Adventure Southland instructor. The day provided us with the ability to teach our school values and focus on the Key competancies in an outdoor setting. The children were challenged physically, had to work as a team, encourage and support each other and overcome personal challenges. There was a great sence of pride and collaboration as each event was succesfully achieved by each group. Back in the classroom the next day the children were buzzing with the things they and others had done and the sence of team spirit continued. I would recommend a day trip here to any school. Organisation was easy and the staff at Camp Columba and Adventure Southland were very helpful.      (Sue Short-Teacher)
