City in the Trees
Build your campsite in the trees at Douglas Scrub! Selected campsite areas are available with the equipment to build the platforms above the ground. Suitable for small groups to sleep out under a tarp or erect a self standing tent on the platforms. The poles, ropes and rope ladders are available for booking. Some training is required for the supervisors or Leaders prior to using this equipment or an Activity Facilitator can be booked. Girl Guide and Scout units will find this activity a different way to camp.
