Abseiling and Climbing
- courage, strength, and teamwork -

Abseiling at Coolamatong is a great activity for a range of ages. Climb your way to the top of our rock wall, then abseil back down to the bottom, under the careful eye of our qualified staff. All our safety equipment - harnesses, caribenas, ropes and slings, etc - are regularly inspected for wear and tear, to ensure the highest safety standards. The climbing tower at Camp Coolamatong is established in a bush setting well away from the camp site. This promotes the atmosphere of being outdoors as distinct from a rock climbing centre, whilst still being close enough to the campsite to have regular group rotation around activities.

Campers will learn to overcome their fears and absolutely love the experience as Coolamatong leaders teach them how to climb, abseil, and belay correctly. Abseiling and climbing are great activities to develop trust, perseverance and strength of character as their initial fear is turned into exhilaration and campers' self confidence grows. A number of other activities including a bouldering wall, knot board and bocce keep campers busy whilst waiting their time to climb.

It is recommended that climbing is conducted with a group size of 10 - 12 participants.
