The Portsea Camp

We are a not for profit social enterprise that provides lifechanging experiences for children and young people through outdoor adventure, connection, wellbeing and personal growth. We do not receive any government funding and rely solely on revenue from Fundraising and our Business Enterprise (School Camps, Corporate Retreats, Large Group Accommodations, Weddings, Weekend and Holiday Camps, and a range of Charity Events) to fund our core charity: subsidised placements for disadvantaged, vulnerable, and at-risk children at our making a Difference (MAD) Camps.

All our staff have undergone trauma-informed training, ensuring our programs are designed with an understanding of trauma and a commitment to emotional safety. We place a strong emphasis on grounding children in nature, using outdoor experiences to foster resilience, mindfulness, and connection to the world around them. To date we have provided over 75,000 subsidised camp positions to vulnerable children.
