Venturer Environment Camp

Ingleside Environment Centre is located on the edge of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in Sydney’s north. The site is largely made up of native sandstone bushland including a freshwater creek and sandstone swamp. Many native species of living things are found here and over the years environmental education activities, aimed at all ages of Scouting, have been developed. Environment Activity Days and Camps aim to build environmental skills and knowledge such as fieldwork and data collection as well as giving back to the larger community through citizen science. Scouts will be shown how to plan and design their own Special Interest Area (SIA) Projects aimed towards their own interests, as per the New Youth Program award scheme. Further hours may be required towards SIAs following the activity day.
