Our three-day programs are jam-packed with hiking, rock climbing, wild swimming, and a short daily Christian discovery session. Register today for the highlight of your holidays. Come ROAM with us.

Dates & Time:

The ROAM program runs for three full days. Daily drop-off is between 9:00 am - 9:30 am, and pick-up is between 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm.

Eligibility:

Participants must be in high school, between years 7 and 10 (inclusive).

Venue & Daily Excursions:

This program will start and finish at Port Macquarie Baptist Church.

Whilst each day will start and finish at this venue, the bulk of each day will be spent off-site on an excursion.

Day 1: Morning tea and fish feeding at the Dunbogan boathouse & North Brother hike.
Day 2: Hiking and wild swimming at Ellenborough Falls.
Day 3: Climbing morning at COG (climbing, laser tag, and the leap of faith), afternoon movie.

Cost:

Our three-day program is valued at over $400 per person, but thanks to the generosity of local churches we can offer our amazing three-day program for only $185 per person total for the three days. The cost includes:

• Private bus transport throughout the program,
• Hikes facilitated by a qualified and experienced outdoor guide,
• Entry fee for the Centre of Gravity,
• Morning tea + fish feeding experience at the Dunbogan boat shed.

The cost does not include - and thus participants will need to bring - food and drink (with the exception of morning tea on day three), sunscreen, and personal medication.
