Why use the natural environment at Fairbridge Village?
The outdoor environment is an alien and unfamiliar environment for many children. Fairbridge is a place where kids of all ages can get into touch with nature, the environment and themselves. Use of the natural environment through adventure activities can make a unique contribution to personal growth through sharing experience, improving self confidence, exploring personal beliefs, attitudes and values while living and learning with one’s peers. The unforgettable experiences gained by participants from Fairbridge’s access to the wonderful natural landscape of its eco-village enables this personal growth through adventure to occur in a safe and secure setting.

"I love being able to go to camp and see the possums running around and watch the birds and other animals.” Jye, 6

“Students are fascinated by the natural environment at Fairbridge – for many it’s the first time they’ve seen an eco village operating – it reinforces everything we’ve taught in class about sustainability, recycling and reuse.” Germaine, Teacher
