There’s something powerful about the great outdoors. Away from distractions, people discover strengths they didn’t know they had. When being outdoors is part of a shared group experience, they also have the opportunity to tackle challenges together and connect – with nature, faith, each other, and themselves.
For many years, Baptist Churches SA & NT has chosen BaptistCare’s adventure campsites in the Adelaide Hills for its high school Easter Camps – Mylor Adventure Camp for students in Years 7–10, and Wirraway Homestead for those in Years 11–12. Across these camps, students have the opportunity to play, worship, laugh and learn together, forming long-lasting friendships and memories.
Mylor Adventure Camp & Wirraway Homestead
Set among towering gums and rolling hills, Mylor Adventure Camp and Wirraway Homestead offer a balance of comfort, adventure and natural beauty.
Mylor Adventure Camp features high ropes, flying foxes, and wide-open spaces for team-building and outdoor activities. Its riverside location also makes it ideal for water-based adventures such as canoeing.
With its rustic country charm, Wirraway Homestead offers a hands-on farm experience, including horse riding, horse clinics and adventures of a slightly different kind.
Both venues also provide spacious dormitory-style and private accommodation, camping grounds and catering facilities, making them ideal for large group stays.
From fully-facilitated school camps to choose-your-own adventures
BaptistCare has a long history of delivering fully-facilitated adventure programs for schools, creating experiences that help young people grow in confidence, character and community beyond the classroom.
But the great news is that Mylor Adventure Camp and Wirraway Homestead are also available for private hire and are well-suited to retreats, conferences, team-building adventures and community gatherings.
Whether facilitated or self-led, time spent at Mylor or Wirraway invites you to step away from the everyday, strengthen relationships and reconnect with faith, creation and what matters most.
BaptistCare offers all Baptist churches a 30% discount on accommodation and venue hire. To plan your next camp, retreat or group adventure, contact us on (08) 8388 5234 or visit https://baptistcaresa.org.au/book-now
