More affordable than many comparable Victorian camps

As a family-run camp, we keep our costs sensible and pass that on in our pricing. Many schools find UPCC noticeably cheaper than comparable camp sites in Victoria — while still receiving exclusive use of the whole property, fully catered meals, on-site adventure activities and comfortable accommodation. Request pricing for your group — we will reply with availability and a tailored quote.

Exclusive Use — Your School, Your Site

Many Victorian camps run multiple schools at once. At UPCC, your booking means no other group on site — lodges, dining room, chapel, games room, recreation hall and outdoor areas are reserved for your school alone. Safer to run, simpler for staff, and better for students.

Fully Catered — Good Food & Plenty of It

Camp catering is included — breakfast through to supper. Teachers and students often comment on the quality of the food and generous portions. We cater for dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free.
