Uniquely Australian
School Camp Experiences
Inspiring outdoor education, school camps and adventure leadership programs for schools and universities.
Black Diamond Adventures offer distinctly Australian school camps and formative outdoor education programs including personal development journeys within NSW and across the country.
Some of our offerings include custom outdoor education programs, beach and bush school camps, a variety of Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions, as well as focused leadership development for schools, universities and other organisations.
Through every Black Diamond Adventure participants gain a greater appreciation of what they are capable of and what it means to be Australian.
Aside from developing personal life skills, we also impart technical skills associated with various outdoor activities and bush skills to enhance one’s knowledge of the Australian way of life.
Black Diamond Adventures operates out of a number of locations around NSW. We also run incursion day programs for local Illawarra and Sydney schools, as well as adventures further afield to outback Australia and other locations of historical and cultural significance.

It’s time for change

SCHOOL CAMPS
Meticulously tailored school camps for large year groups, each one hitting different objectives from the last. We’re here to help educators deliver school camps and outdoor education with student well-being and pastoral care at the forefront of our programs. Our school camps use a mix of mobile and fixed sites depending on the program.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH
Character defining expeditions for the ‘Adventurous Journey’ component of the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of the Duke of Edinburgh’s award. Location, activities and mode of travel (e.g. hike/kayak) are entirely up to you and your participants. All booked trips come with pre-trip training and experienced & enthusiastic guides.

Our thoughts, words and actions define our character and shape those around us. Discover how we create positive mindsets.

OUR EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY
Black Diamond Psychology drives our philosophy and belief that everyone has what it takes. We empower our participants to think the same way! By blending a variety of psychological approaches, we foster positive mindsets, capabilities and connections to help participants develop essential life skills, improve self-esteem and define their character on our school camps.

AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCES
Subtle touches in program design are one of the many ways we develop our participants’ understanding of what it means to be Australian. Drawing on our experience with Indigenous communities and Australian stockman, we help participants, enjoy, appreciate and gain confidence in Australian pastimes and our national identity.
