Tent camp
Our Camp site consists of 40 heavy duty canvas tents under permanent roofing, a camp kitchen for preparing morning and afternoon teas and an ablution block for toilets and showers.
Each tent has a floor space of 3m x 3m and can comfortably accommodate 3 campers.
Sometimes we accommodate two small camps on site concurrently. If this is the case for your camp we have the ability to divide our camp site into two separate sites so that each camp can run independently from the other. The only facilities you would be sharing with the other camp would be the ablutions block, the camp kitchen and the dining hall at meal times.
A visiting staff bunkhouse is available for use by visiting staff as long as minimum student supervision requirements are met.
Dining hall
Our dining facilities can cater for up to 80 students and visiting teachers at a time with our Kinchant catering staff on hand to provide breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It has a multi-station wash up facility allowing efficient and hygienic practices to ensure food safe practices are followed and standards met.
The dining hall is also equipped with multimedia facilities that can be used to display a laptop for presentations, TV for special events or a DVD for a relaxing movie night.
Library
Kinchant OEC is equipped with a library that consists of many adventure activity related resources as well as an additional multimedia facility for smaller sized groups.
Tennis court
A fully enclosed tennis courts is available for activities such as pioneering (catapult building), bush dancing and sports. There are lights for the tennis court to allow it to be utilised during evening sessions.
Studies centre
The Studies Centre (double classroom space) is available for indoor activities. It is perfect for activities like screen printing, bush art, paper making etc. There is also wet weather accommodation available should the need arise.
Outdoor curriculum sites
Outdoor curriculum sites (low and high ropes, team challenge, group initiatives, and climbing wall) are strictly out of bounds unless trained staff are officially conducting sessions. All of these activities are available to be included into your camp program if you wish to utilise these facilities.
Fire pit
If weather permits and we have no fire bans are in place, visiting schools have the option to use our fire pit. The fire pit can be used for activities including damper and jaffle cooking as well as being a good place to sit, relax and debrief with students after a busy day of activities.
First Aid kits
First Aid Kits are located in the office, hall and camp kitchen (for emergencies only, if the school kit cannot be located or is deficient). All Kinchant OEC teaching staff have First Aid and Advanced Resuscitation qualifications.
