PGL provides a fun and challenging adventure experience for school groups that gives students a taste of the real outdoors as well as building a range of personal skills.
The beautiful Camp Rumbug is located in the majestic hills of South Gippsland, two hours from Melbourne's CBD and set in 200 acres of glorious temperate rainforest overlooking Wilsons Promontory National Park.
We have a range of programs to suit all year groups including Year 7 orientation camps, study skills retreats for Year 10s and leadership and teambuilding activity camps which are great for groups of all ages. We can even offer camp-out experiences to really help students get closer to the great outdoors!
Whatever program you choose for your students, trying something new, building confidence and supporting each other is what a PGL experience is all about, and they’ll make memories that will last a lifetime.

We have been operating school camps, adventure centres and youth retreats in the UK and Europe since 1957. Every year more than 6000 British school and youth groups choose PGL for their school trip.
We are now delighted to be able to offer the PGL residential camp experience to schools and youth groups in Victoria and Queensland.
We look after more than 250,000 young people every year.
A PGL adventure will bring out the best in young people – realising the potential in every individual to reach higher and achieve more. Whatever your objectives, we’ll help you achieve them. Our courses use adventure to build confidence, a sense of achievement, forge stronger relationships and develop a better attitude in school.
