KOSCIUSZKO SUMMER CAMPING ADVENTURES

Spend three days camping out in the mountains - climb Mt Kosciuszko, Australia’s Highest Peak, learn what gear to take and alpine survival skills.

Treat yourself to an overnight adventure in the alps and experience the wild beauty of the alpine environment including a trip to the top of Mt Kosciuszko!

Camping provides a unique opportunity to watch the sunset over snow covered mountains before you settle down for the night in your warm three season sleeping bag. You will learn essential skills for the wilderness: where and how to set up camp, how to cook a hot meal and drink, navigation, group management, hydration and how to prevent hypothermia.

Group sizes are small - no more than 6 people. This ensures that Mike can spend time with each of you, focusing on your individual needs, interests, and skill levels. We highly recommend spending three days and two nights on a snow camping tour to learn how to camp in the alpine setting and in a relaxed way experience the wild beauty of the winter alpine environment.
