Stars, Weather Animals, Minerals, Plants: and Ecology. Learning about Nature leads to environmental stewardship and respect for the natural world. Campers learn about the environment, stars and constellations, weather, animals, rocks and minerals, and indigenous flora and fauna.

Learning how to live comfortably and safely in the out-of-doors is the focus of Campcraft. From useful knots to pitching a tent, to cooking over a fire in the rain, campers gain skills and confidence when living and playing in the out-of-doors.

Being confident and comfortable in the water is an important life skill and a focus at Tawingo. From qualified instructors, Campers of all levels can improve their swimming and lifesaving skills at our Waterfront.

National Lifesaving Society courses (Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross, and Emergency First Aid) are available to interested campers of appropriate ages.

Fostering a lifelong joy of paddling a canoe is a cornerstone of Tawingo’s boating program. Campers learn the care and handling of the paddle and canoe, straight line travel techniques, sudden turns, canoe over canoe rescue, solo strokes, and portaging.

Kayak and Sailing instruction are also offered as well as recreational use of all watercraft.
