Pemberton
Pemberton Camp is one of seven Fairbridge’s Camp’s, located throughout Western Australia. Originally
designed so that government school students could extend their educational opportunities outside the regular school setting, the Camp is now available to all schools and community groups. Pemberton Camp offers exciting programs which motivate children of all ages and help to develop their self-esteem, teamwork and co-operative skills.
At Pemberton Camp we take a personal approach, providing a welcoming touch full of fun activities and learning, within a safe and secure environment. We provide a one stop booking process for all meals, accommodation, activities and excursions to make your camp planning easier.

Canoeing & Rafting
Students can enjoy canoeing using Canadian canoes (Wobbygongs) with supervised instruction undertaken on Big Brook Dam or alternatively they can build their owns rafts from tyres and pipes and then test their construction as they set sail on a maiden voyage.
Bushwalking
A variety of bush walks offers the walker a variety of vegetation types, terrains, from old railway tracks, old logging roads to narrow windy tracks alongside the Lefroy rook. Climb the huge mobile sand dunes of Yeagarup for a spectacular view, then roll down to the bottom. Kite flying on the sand dunes is a great team activity and in summer a swim at Yeagarup Lake is an excellent way to finish the walk. The Gloucester Walk through the Eastbrook Valley offers walkers a burst of colour with its abundance of wildflowers.
