GOAL School camp

 

We are happy to deliver activities for corporate, family, school or youth groups. Making it easy for School Excursion and Camp organisers, we provide required information about our Location, Educational values, Risk Assessments, Transport & Accommodation, Programs and Activities, Fees, First Aid /CPR, and our White Water Canoeing guidelines for Primary Schools and High Schools.

 

Located in the Northern Rivers not far from Grafton and Coffs Harbour, we are inviting you to come and stay in beautiful Nymboida, New South Wales, Australia. If you like the great outdoors and don't mind a few nights sleeping under the stars or camping in your tent in the Clarence Valley area, then this may be the spot for you. Besides camping, we also organise cabin or bunkhouse accommodation outsourced from, the Briary, the Nymboida Canoe Centre, Nymboida Coaching Station Inn, Exodus Outdoor Adventures in Buccarumbi and other locations. All activities are delivered by GOAL unless outsourced.


Make yourself at home and enjoy bush walking, relaxing, playing games or singing around a campfire in a family safe environment. If you like water activities, whitewater canoeing on the Nymboida River or tubing and boogie boarding on Goolang Creek ( Hydro-Release) could be your choice. Let our qualified staff show you how to learn skills such as navigational skills, bush art, whip cracking, poi, water safety, white water canoeing, white water rafting, or abseiling.

Why are we here?

Our goal is to deliver a creative learning process for corporate groups, private groups, families, youth groups and school groups. We strive to do this by catering for the needs of each individual and provide academic, artistic, and social aspects in each program. When dealing with children we like to bring out their imagination, promote truthful behaviour and furnish children with a feeling of responsibility in order to strengthen self-initiative and develop their overall education. Please read Information for Schools if you wish to book your Primary or High School excursions or camps.

Our instructors are dedicated to accept each person as they are, to teach them new skills with commitment and respect, and are enthusiastic and creative in their approach. Their qualifications range from Tafe certificates, Diplomas and University degrees but most importantly they understand why everyone should learn outdoor skills through active participation. Programs can include all or some of the following activities: Art & Craft, White Water Canoeing, Bush Walking, Initiative Games, Navigation, Teamwork, Camp Cooking, Camping, Survival Skills, Water Safety (sometimes known as River Safety), Outdoor Safety, Fauna & Flora, Whip Cracking, Poi, Wind Water & Sun Activities, and the Environment.

When you make a booking for white water canoeing on the Nymboida River or Goolang Creek with our instructors you will be provided with canoes, paddles, PFD (Personal Flotation Device) and helmets. No need to hire a canoe separately. We outsource White Water Rafting, Abseiling, an Organic Farm visit, and the Nymboida Coaching Station museum visit. Tubing on Goolang Creek is available (location Nymboida Canoe Centre) from our instructors and we can conduct tubing or boogie boarding lessons. We do not conduct low ropes, high ropes, bouldering wall or mountain bike riding activities ourselves. We may be able to outsource mountain bike riding, low ropes and high ropes activities from Exodus Outdoor Adventures located in Buccarumbi if required. Buccarumbi is a small settlement west of the Buccarumbi Ranges and south-west of Grafton. The Nymboida River and Boyd River join forces at this location.

AccommodationStaying with us in the Nymboida area (Northern Rivers / Clarence Valley) means that you may be camping or staying at the Nymboida Coaching Station Inn, the Briary, the Nymboida Canoe Centre or with Exodus Outdoor Adventures. If camping you will need to bring your tent or swag and any other camping gear. The Briary has bunkhouse accommodation and the Coaching Station Inn has motel accommodation. The Canoe Centre has cabins or camping facilities along Goolang Creek. Exodus Outdoor Adventures has camping and farm stay.

Where we are We operate out of one of NSW most beautiful spots, Nymboida, located 36km south of Grafton on the Armidale Road, and 160km north of Armidale. We are easy enough to find and a map or GPS should get you there. We are not far from Grafton and Coffs Harbour in the Northern Rivers. The Clarence Valley is famous for its Jacaranda Festival held each year during October/November, Grafton Art Club, Greyhound Racing, the July Horse Racing Carnival, Grafton Bridge to Bridge Ski Race, Australian Goanna Pulling Championships in Wooli and much more.

What to bringOutdoor adventure activities are bound to get you dirty and at times wet. Bring plenty of clothes to suit the season with enclosed shoes or runners. Limited washing facilities are available so make sure you bring enough clothes to last. If camping you will also need to bring personal items, your tent or swag, bedding, food, personal drinking bottles, cooking and eating utensils, first aid kit, sunscreen, hat, and a good sense of adrenalin pumping, adventure fun filled spirit.
