About

• Open Program
• Purpose Based Journey
• Suitable for students interested in Environment / Sustainability
• Before you enrol in a Combo Trip, get approval from your award leader
• We provide Preparation and Training and opportunities for participation if students need additional support e.g. volunteering with us, completing a Silver program with us, completing our Residential Project before your AJ

All of our programs have a strong Environment Conservation focus, underpinned by our two campaign chapters “Reshaping Waste” (based in Manly) and “Preserve Wild Places” (based in Pittwater). Elements included in the program are ocean and beach cleanup, bush regeneration, native tree planting, eco-tours of Pittwater by SUP/Kayak and indigenous education provided by an aboriginal-owned partner company.

This is an open trip with limited spaces available, so get in quick. All dinners are included in the cost.

Starting Details: Please meet on the lawn outside the Manly Art Gallery at 8:30am.

Day 1's activities will take place in Manly.

From the end of Day 1 till the morning of Day 6 we'll be based in Pittwater.

You can expect longer days as it's a condensed duration and we have a lot of hours to squeeze in. Approximately 7hrs of activity each day, discussions, reflections, documentary viewing and plenty of time for designing and leading the group on walks and paddles in the local area.

Finish details: We will be catching the 1:45pm ferry on Friday from Halls Wharf to Church Point. Parents can collect you from 2:15pm.

What to bring

Important note regarding meals: Students will be required to plan, shop for and cook meals according to a sustainability criteria- eg. minimal waste, packaging, seasonal, local produce. More information will be sent out after registration.
