Overview of Camp Somerset 

Somerset Outdoor Learning Centre has been offering outdoor programs to school students since the early 1980s. As an industry leader with over 35 years of expertise, Somerset offers a unique blend of learning experiences, outdoor facilities and activities, delivered in a professionally-managed outdoor education program. 

Somerset offers the unique experience of tent camping, which presents the opportunity for students to engage with their natural surroundings and spirit of adventure. It provides a fun and supportive framework for students to develop leadership skills, work as a team and appreciate the value of friendship. Their professional, tertiary-qualified Group Leaders facilitate engaging fun activities, extending students’ physical and emotional capabilities while enhancing self-confidence and self-reliance. 

Somerset programs aim to develop student relationships with the outdoors, and with each other, in an environment that requires initiative, perseverance, adaptability and a sense of responsibility. Their programs provide students with the opportunity to reach out of their comfort zones and to embark on positive risk-taking initiatives, both of which are crucial to their development.
