When your students outgrow the usual camp…

Younger year levels thrive at The Briars – but as students grow, so should their experiences. Older students need more challenge, more space, and more opportunity to reflect.

Educators need a venue that evolves with them.

Narmbool LODGE: Designed for Progression

Located between Geelong and Ballarat, Narmbool gives students a chance to step up — through thoughtfully designed programs that develop independence, resilience, and environmental awareness.
