We work with secondary and primary schools as well as students completing their Adventurous Journey as part of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award (Duke of Ed).

Why so special ??
Because it’s a pristine, wildlife-loaded river …. and it’s right in our back yard.
Our own “resident” platypus George, released by Taronga Zoo back into the river at Camp Somerset, like us, calls this place our water playground.
Whether you’re pulling against the tide in your canoe, or floating down on your doughnut, the river provides fun, excitement and in summer, great cooling off.
If you’re building a raft or playing water games, you may not always notice the beautiful sandstone formations and the trees weeping along the river edges.
But you will feel the sand between your toes and you will get to experience why the Colo River at Camp Somerset is so special.
