Initiatives
A series of activities that develop team work, co-operation and lateral thinking but delivered in an appealing manner.
Skiing/Biscuiting
Groups meet Clint on the shore of Mason Bay, where after instructions and a safety talk, they prepare for a lot of fun! Campers have the opportunity to skim across the water behind the boat on a biscuit or donut, even the most tentative of participants always feel safe and give it go. The other option is to give skiing a go where under Clint’s tutelage there are often great results in a short period of time!
Extra Activities
Boat Cruise
We highly recommend that all groups that come to Lakewood Park take the opportunity to spend a day (or half a day) out on the picturesque Gippsland Lakes. Once aboard the MV Lakes Odyssey a 65 passenger cruise boat the options to explore Australia’s largest inland waterway are limitless. Popular stopovers include Raymond Island, Sperm Whale Head and the famous 90-mile beach all of which have an abundance of wildlife
Mountain Biking
Bike riding is a great way to explore the camp and wider Banksia Peninsula environment with many routes available. The program is adaptable to the needs and abilities of the group who are kept under qualified instruction. Campers learn responsibility for there individual actions and to be mindful of the people around them.
Kite Making
Taken by Terry Chatfield, a triple Australian Champion Kite Flyer. He sets up a display of kites and outlines the history of kiting. Campers build their own kite from good quality materials then decorate them. Terry explains how to tune a kite for the conditions so that it will always fly. Then it is outside to the oval and next thing all the kites are in the air.
Buchan Caves / Lakes Entrance
The coach takes the group to Buchan Caves Park for a tour of the Royal Cave or the Fairy Cave. Campers are amazed by the various structures in these limestone caves which are without doubt the best in Victoria. After a barbecue lunch and a look around the park where kangaroos and other native animals abound. we travel home via Lakes Entrance returning to Lakewood Park.
Sailing
The Gippsland Lakes are a great place for sailing. Lakewood Park uses well qualified sailing instructors who will ensure that campers safely experience the joys of sailing. Campers sail in 19 foot "Status" yachts. The qualified sailing master allows his crew of up to six to sail the vessel. A motorboat also accompanies the yachts at all times.
