How Your Gift Works
Every gift here reflects something real: a genuine cost we meet to get children to camp and keep them safe, supported and included while they’re here. Your gift goes into our 80th Birthday Fund, which lets us respond as need arrives – a school that loses its bus funding in term two, a child who needs a place next week, a group who need gear before they can get on the water.
Eighty years has taught us that the need never turns up in exactly the shape we predicted, so we keep the fund flexible on purpose. We’ll show you what it made possible. Wishing Tree items are purchased as part of our annual equipment program.
Welcome to the shop!
Give a child something to enjoy at camp, right now.
A rashie for the beach. A snorkel for exploring beneath the waves. A warm meal after a big day of adventure.
These are the things that bring camp to life. Your gift helps provide the gear, food and everyday camp essentials that children can use, enjoy and experience while they’re here.
And because they’re part of camp, your gift keeps giving. A bike, a set of snorkels or a piece of camp equipment can be enjoyed by hundreds of children over the years.

Invest in a Child's Trajectory
How do you put a price on a child’s future?
Some things on camp cannot be itemised. They are felt. They are the profound moments that can quietly shift the course of a child’s story.
Every child arrives at camp with their own story. Many are carrying the weight of circumstances no child should have to carry. Others may have lost confidence, feel like they don’t quite belong, or simply haven’t had many opportunities to discover what they’re capable of.
Whatever their story, camp can become a moment where things feel a little lighter.
the joy of being fully yourself – laughing until your stomach hurts, trying something new, or putting that weight down and having the freedom to simply be a kid;
the confidence to have a go – taking a deep breath, stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering, “I can do this”;
the resilience to keep going – learning that setbacks don’t have to stop you, and that you can find your way through the hard moments; and
the feeling of belonging – making new connections, being welcomed for who you are, and discovering that you have people in your corner.
You cannot buy these moments off a shelf, you invest in them. By contributing to our future stream, you are backing the long-term wellbeing frameworks, programs and relationships that help children build confidence, resilience, joy and connection – and carry those things with them long after they leave camp.
