The annual Raymond Island Camp is a fabulous experience for those of any age, families and children. This camp, which runs from Monday, 5 January to Sunday, 11 January, is held at The Abbey, a conference centre on Raymond Island, which is accessed by short ferry ride from Paynesville.
Children:
A fully supervised children’s program will run in the morning and after dinner (where you get to drop the kids off and have some grown-up time).
Highlights of past camps include: koala spotting, relaxed teaching times in the evening, meals cooked by a chef, free time in the afternoons wandering into Paynesville, swimming on the nearby beach, various fun competitions (bocce, volleyball, table tennis and painting), hilarious end-of-camp concerts, and chef-led cooking classes.
Accommodation options include self-contained units, newly refurbished shared rooms, and space for your own tent or van (unpowered). Check it out here: theabbey.org.au.
