Mt BUFFALO CHALET
Help Forge New Paths
Nestled in the Victorian Alps, the Mt Buffalo Chalet is more than a place – it’s a journey that begins when the bus leaves at our doorstep, and weaves its way across the mountain paths. Here, every trail and activity is designed to engage and challenge, fostering a sense of discovery.
At the heart of our values lies a passion for adventure and a steadfast commitment to the environment that we live and work within. We steer students on a journey of personal growth and determination, all the while striving to leave a lasting impact on each young mind.
Shape Leaders in Nature’s Classroom
Mt Buffalo is an extraordinary place for students to experience the remote outdoors within a secure and structured environment. We can help make the most of it, using our experience to create tailored programs that suit your outcomes for students. BOE takes an individualised approach to each trip, working with schools to understand their unique value system and goals for their students. This collaborative approach allows for the designing of outcomes-focused programs, fostering student growth in a structured and supportive setting.
Whether traditional school camps or one of our more adventurous group journeys, programming includes climb and abseiling, mountain biking, bushwalking, canoeing, paddle boarding, caving, raft building, cross country skiing, tobogganing, camping and more extended journeys. Each of these activities, and including our environmental projects, can be closely linked to the school and year groups curriculum or other key outcomes.
Connecting Key Outcomes
School camps start with a conversation, a partnership between BOE and your school, as we seek to establish the personal growth and results sought for each student and the collective growth of the cohort, and their greater understanding of the environment around them. From there, we work collaboratively to build a program that delivers each of these key outcomes.
Our Mt Buffalo staff are essential in this, blending expertise in each activity but helping guide student focus towards these core learnings. Our staff work closely with each single group of students, so they are integral in facilitating group reviews that highlight understanding and helping connect it to key outcomes and school values.
