Twenty-Tenty-Two New Year’s Eve Camping Party at Woodhouse Activity Centre
The Woodhouse Activity Centre NYE celebration has become somewhat of a tradition, and a firm favourite for families wanting a truly memorable celebration and a camping adventure to remember.
There is no minimum number of nights so book just for December 31, or a night or two either side! You’ll have access to the camping field, amenities, facilities and activities from 9am on your day of arrival to 5pm on your day of departure.
Set up your site then, crawl, climb, swing and splash your way around Challenge Hill, weave your way through The Labyrinth, conquer Cameron’s Climb, have a round or two of Disc Golf… or just curl up under a tree and read a book. The Tube Slide will be open for fast and furious fun (subject to weather) on Saturday 31 December and Sunday 1 January … we’ll be turning the sprinklers up a notch for extra spritz!
On NYE settle in for a family movie followed by a live stream of fireworks on the Scouts SA big screen. Then head back to your campsite to gaze up at the shooting stars (nature’s fireworks) and ring in the new year with old friends and new.
