Building Resilient Young Minds Through Camp
At The Portsea Camp, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our school camps break down barriers to learning and wellbeing by providing inclusive, adventure-based experiences grounded in our trauma-informed approach.
Our programs are designed to complement the classroom—supporting academic, social, and emotional growth—while bringing learning to life outdoors.
Learning That Lasts a Lifetime

- Self-management – Stay motivated and mindful
