In January 2009, family members Sarah and Brad Love and Simone and Brad Higgins, purchased the site – which had been operating for 21 years as an outdoor education centre – with the intention of rejuvenating the well known Great Aussie Bush Camp. With considerable experience in childcare, business development and a passion for excellence in everything they do, they developed a strong foundation for even greater success in the future.

Less than two years later, The Great Aussie Bush Camp had established itself as a leader in outdoor education within Australia, while simultaneously entrenching itself in the local economy.

Each year around 65,000 children, as well as teachers, attend The Great Aussie Bush Camp Tea Gardens, Kincumber and Lake Macquarie. The emphasis is on providing memorable teaching and learning experiences in a fun and friendly atmosphere, and removing the hassle that principals and teachers normally have to face when planning school camps.

The Great Aussie Bush Camp acknowledges the importance of building its business based not only on quality of service, but on the historical significance and authentically Australian nature its location offers. This combination of outstanding facilities, great service and a rich heritage makes the camp unique amongst other outdoor education providers.

However, being authentic also extends to the type of camp experience provided. The comfortable living quarters are not so removed from the surroundings that students miss out on the ‘back-to-nature’ living experience. This is consistent with studies from both Deakin and Monash universities, which show that students’ experiences and learning acquisition are enhanced by a more genuine ‘bush experience’ such as that on offer at The Great Aussie Bush Camp. Alternatively, those camps offering a less authentic bush experience largely miss the intended benefits of outdoor education.

The amount of investment in the Tea Gardens site alone over the past 8 years is indicative of The Great Aussie Bush Camp’s commitment to educational excellence and their intention to be a long-term leader in its field.
