Camp Fairbridge Pinjarra

Camp Fairbridge Pinjarra accommodation consists of 24 South African and English-inspired cottages, each with its own unique piece of history. Fairbridge Village is the size of a small town with over 55 buildings scattered through a large bush area. Here, native trees and flowers are preserved and native wildlife roams freely. Fairbridge Village is a nationally and internationally recognised site, both for its heritage and its environmental significance. The facilities include a Cafe, a 25m swimming pool, a full-sized sporting oval with football, soccer, and cricket facilities, gas barbecues, and picnic areas.

Accommodation is in the original cottages and sizes range from 4 to 54 people with a total capacity of up to 350 beds.

Our adventure activities help participants build self-confidence and teach them how to be part of a team. The influence of Fairbridge’s natural environment, the opportunity to escape the pressures of urban life, and the sense of achievement that occurs, all help to increase participants’ abilities and confidence. Many activities are mapped to the WA Curriculum Outcomes.

Activities at Camp Fairbridge Pinjarra:

Abseiling

Abseiling is a controlled descent or rappelling down a near-vertical wall via a fixed rope. Our professional and qualified instructor will demonstrate the equipment necessary to abseil and discuss safety and the use of safety equipment. Participants have time to practice on flat ground the process of abseiling and what to expect before climbing the abseiling tower and putting their new skills to the test.

High Ropes

Fairbridge High Ropes course is made up of various elements from 3.5m off the ground. Secured with a harness, participants navigate the course as it gets higher and more difficult. Work in pairs to develop a support network and teamwork to keep each other safe and on track.

Learn the basic skills of mountain biking, then put theory into practice and experience the environment while traveling along the local tracks and trails of Fairbridge Village.
