The camp offers a safe and secure environment with excellent sleeping arrangements and fully catered facilities, providing the perfect base for our students to explore all that the city has to offer. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always meeting our students' needs with kindness and care. Our school has based our annual excursion at Urban Camp for many years, and we always look forward to this enriching trip."

    —Newhaven College, Post Camp Survey, 2025

  • "Urban Camp provided our students with a safe and comfortable stay away from home for the first time. There was plenty of activities for students to engage with, the staff were friendly and attentive and the facilities clean and well maintained."

    —Eastern Ranges School, Monbulk, Post Camp Survey, 2025.

  • "Our experience at Urban Camp was fantastic! The staff were friendly, supportive, and went above and beyond to make our stay smooth. The planning process leading up to camp was seamless, with excellent communication and an easy-to-use cabin and group portal. The activities were engaging and well-organised, and the location was perfect for our group. A wonderful camp experience all round!"

    — St Patrick’s Koroit, Post Camp Survey, 2025.

  • “Urban Camp was a fantastic opportunity for our students to stay close to the heart of the city yet still experience camp style accommodation. Located a short walk from a tram directly into the city, our students were able to learn about the logistics of timetables and catching public transport, as well as experiencing and learning about the city in which they live, the history, the landmarks and the culture. We'll be back!”

    — Dinjerra Primary School, Post Camp Survey, 2024

  • “Bellbrae Primary School has been attending Urban Camp in Parkville for a number of years. It has become one of our school highlights and is remembered by all staff and students fondly. It is located perfectly - close enough to parkland that you feel isolated and away from the hustle and bustle of the city...yet close enough to enjoy the highlights the city has to offer. Staff cannot do enough to assist you when preparing, and the individualized portal makes planning a breeze.”
