Stage 3 camp - Tops Conference Centre, Stanwell Park

We are currently organising our Stage 3 Camp. This year, Camp will be held at The Tops Conference Centre, Stanwell Park, for three days: Middle of Term 3 (Week 6), Mon 21 – Wed 23 August 2023. Travel is by coach.

The Tops Conference Centre is set on 200 acres of pristine bushland, nestled above Stanwell Park Beach, approximately 45 minutes’ drive from school. Further information can be found the Tops webiste

Stage 3 Camp is a great way for students to enjoy three action-packed days of discovery and adventure, whilst in the safe hands of teachers from TAPS and the Centre’s highly experienced team of outdoor guides. Camp provides a fun, educational and safe experience for children through activities that are positive, challenging and engaging. It also creates lasting, fond memories for students and helps them develop independence and confidence as they begin their transition to high school.

  • Cabin accommodation with ensuites
  • Quality catering (all meals provided)
  • A TAPS-dedicated dining hall / meeting room

  • Evening Activities
  • Vertical Cluster
