Kookookookookahkahkahkah!!!

Do you hear the call, wild ones? The kookaburras are singing us home – back to country, back to community and back to connection!

From Tuesday 30th September to Saturday 4th October, we will return to beautiful Wurundjeri Country to reconnect with nature, ourselves, family and community. A few rich days immersed in the wild, heeding the call, catching stories, sharing songs, skills and, of course, adventures!

This is a family friendly, drug and alcohol-free event, and everyone is welcome – from the freshest joeys to the wisest elders – diversity in the forest and the village is what we’re all about! There’ll be mentor programs for the young ones, fire-by-friction, sharing circles, shared meals in the Willum, stories, songs, games and more!

Find out more about what Village Camp entails here or by navigating to Firekeepers Village Camp in the menu bar above.

Rowallan Scout Camp, Riddells Creek

TICKETS

Tickets on sale at this link from Friday 8th August at 8am.

All tickets for program participants (adults and children) are the same price, with a lower price for joeys (children who are still in or stick close to the parent’s pouch and too young to participate in the kids’ program).

Prices for this camp are:
Adult: $330
Child 4+: $330
Joey 3yo: $125
Joey 0-2yo: $50

All tickets – including volunteer tickets and joey tickets – include a contribution towards the Village Fund. The Village Fund celebrates the diversity of our community by acknowledging that not all of us have equally abundant access to funds. While some of us are able to support the village, others – including many of the essential volunteers and mentors who make camp possible – need the village’s support to be able to gather with us and share their gifts. If this is you, and you need the support of the village, you can enter the code ‘fundme’ at checkout to have the Village Fund discount of $50 per ticket applied. For those finding themselves in a place of abundance, you can also make an additional contribution to the Village Fund at checkout.
