Onsite and nearby activities

Students will never run out of ways to explore and engage. Just 500 metres from the retreat, Rainbow Beach offers the perfect spot for beach games and water activities.

A short trip takes you to Dooragan National Park for nature walks and breathtaking views, or you can visit local attractions such as the Koala Hospital and Billabong Zoo.

For a hands-on coastal experience, surf lessons and marine discovery activities in Port Macquarie are also easily arranged, making every day of your camp or retreat full of adventure and learning.

Flexible and tailored to your school

No two schools are the same. We work with you to shape a retreat or camp that suits your students, your schedule and your goals. From accommodation and catering to how you use each space, every detail is considered so your program runs smoothly.

Where To Next

St Agnes’ Catholic Parish acknowledges the Birpai people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and serve. We acknowledge their deep connection to this land, its waters, skies, and stories, nurtured with wisdom, care, and resilience for countless generations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
