What parents say
Kids loved the Astro camp, the stargazing, the rocket making, rocket launch and the other activities packed for them.

Questions from parents and teachers
Schools often forward this page to families. These are the questions we hear most.
For parents
Who looks after the children at night?
The school’s teachers and Exoticamp’s camp team stay on site for the whole trip. Girls and boys have separate tents or rooms and separate washrooms, female staff are on site, and there’s a night watch throughout.
What if my child feels unwell?
A nurse is on site for school groups and our instructors are first-aid certified. The nearest hospital and the emergency plan are agreed with the school before the trip.
What will my child eat?
Freshly cooked meals on a menu agreed with the school. Jain, egg-free and allergy-safe meals can be arranged; let the school know when you sign up.
Will we hear from them during the trip?
Yes. Photos are shared during the trip through a parents’ WhatsApp group or through the school, whichever the school prefers.
Are the water activities safe?
Everyone wears a life jacket for kayaking and boating. Water activities depend on weather and water levels on the day.

What does it cost?
Each camp shows a per-student price, excluding GST. Transport is extra if you’d like us to arrange it. One teacher travels free for every 20 students, and larger groups can ask for special pricing.
Can we change the itinerary?
Yes. Activities, duration and meals can be adjusted to your class, syllabus and group size.
How far ahead do we need to book?
