Environment
- the area to explore -
Camp Coolamatong is ideally located and resourced to give campers of all ages the complete outdoor
camping experience. Set on 170 acres of bushland, farmland, wetlands, with lake frontage and beaches
nearby, there is no place like Coola for the great outdoors!
Wide open spaces, fresh air and diverse flora and fauna provide the perfect setting to enjoy an
unlimited number of activities. Coola is the perfect base for either action, or simply a relaxing,
peaceful 'time-out' from the business of life.
Coolamatong's environmental surroundings make it an excellent venue to teach basic principles
of ecology to primary students or conduct field work with senior secondary students.
With the expanse of the magnificent Gippsland Lakes literally on our door step, Coolamatong offers
the ultimate venue for watersports and recreational pursuits, such as canoeing, kayaking, rafting,
sailing, fishing and water-skiing. A boat cruise aboard the C.C. Neill allows campers to take in
the beauty of the lakes and local coastal National Parks including the 90 mile beach.
Camp Coolamatong is the ideal place to bring your school group. The wide open spaces are still all
within easy reach by walk of the camp which means the excellent array of activities can be readily
accessessed by groups as they rotate through the programs.
