BIMBI PARK CAMP 2026

Mon 22/11- Fri 26/11

With an ‘old trades and science’ theme.
Come join the annual home school migration to Bimbi Park for heaps of fun, friends, adventure, old crafts, learning and wildlife.
Bimbi Park is in Cape Otway (centre of the great ocean road), and nestled in magnificent forest, beaches, secluded bays and spectacular coastlines. Sheltered amongst tall manna gums filled with koalas and possums and far away from the wearing noises of towns and traffic.
The majority of the park bookings will be home educators.
