Edmund Rice Camps — Nature & Outdoors

My son recently attended the Edmund Rice Camps — Nature & Outdoors program in Sydney, and he had a solid experience overall. He is outgoing and quickly made a friend during the outdoor games. They built a small shelter using branches and leaves, which he couldn't stop talking about afterward. The instructor, Jake, was engaging and genuinely seemed to enjoy working with the kids, which made a big difference in their experience. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic with long lines, and it felt like we spent more time waiting than necessary. Still, I appreciated the clear communication from the staff about daily activities. The program's focus on engaging with nature really aligns with what I want for my child, and I would recommend it with the caveat to arrive early for pickup.

I recently enrolled my 9-year-old in the Edmund Rice Camps Nature & Outdoors program in Sydney, and overall, it was a solid experience. My child, who is quite outgoing, particularly enjoyed the scavenger hunt and the opportunity to build a birdhouse. The instructor, Mia, was fantastic—she kept the kids engaged with fun facts about the local wildlife. One downside was the long lines during drop-off and pickup; it felt a bit chaotic, especially on the first day when we weren't sure where to go. However, once settled, my child made a new friend and was excited to share all the new things they learned about nature each day. The activities were well-organized and encouraged teamwork, which I appreciated. I would recommend this program, especially for kids who love to explore the outdoors.
