Embark on a creative safari like no other. Designed to support students as they transition into the vast savannah of high school life, this camp is a chance to explore, create, and discover new strengths in a truly inspiring setting.

Set among the sights and sounds of the wild, this one-of-a-kind camp is more than just an excursion – it’s a journey of self-discovery. Students will build teamwork, confidence, and resilience while working alongside industry-leading artists and fellow adventurers from other schools.

This includes the iconic Zoo Snooze experience – a rare opportunity for students to be fully immersed in the magic of the zoo after dark!

The expedition culminates in a spectacular showcase performance, where students share the treasures of their creative journey with family and friends – a celebration of courage, imagination, and pride.

Throughout the camp, students will trek across a wide creative landscape, participating in art forms such as: dance, drama, musical theatre, circus arts, film making and photography, Aboriginal arts, visual and creative arts and more!

The 2026 WILDarts Creative Arts Camp promises an unforgettable adventure, equipping students with lifelong skills and sending them home ready to roar as they step into high school.
