Types of school camps
Being such a versatile facility in the heart of the sunny Gold Coast, the Gold Coast Performance Centre has welcomed a variety of types of school camps over the years.
Sport specific camps are a regular occurrence at GCPC, from team to individual sports, the multitude of facilities at GCPC and in the surrounding Runaway Bay area are the perfect hub for all sports. We see these camps often include focused training sessions, development of skills and teamwork, educational workshops and seminars, all to provide a unique and enriching experience for young athletes that motivates them to excel in their chosen sports.
Team building and leadership camps are also a popular choice of theme for camps onsite. Providing the opportunity to work together, we see students working to improve communication and collaboration abilities, as well as learning to step up, inspire others and foster strong leadership qualities. Through building confidence, developing problem-solving skills and enhancing decision-making abilities, these types of camps can play a significant role in readying students for future challenges.
Is your school travelling to the Gold Coast with teams for competitions? Carrara Sports Complex, Coomera Sports Complex and the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre are the main sporting venues for competitions on the GC. All within a 20-minute drive of GCPC, teams are able to stay together, have their meals sorted and have access to recovery facilities to ensure that they are performing at their peak throughout the entire competition.
Themes parks, beautiful beaches, the scenic hinterland, what hasn’t the Gold Coast got going for it?! Because of all the Gold Coast has to offer, we see more than just sport focused camps coming through GCPC doors. Schools travelling for end of year theme park trips, Gold Coast tourism experiences and even to complete hands-on assignments for other subjects such as science, mathematics and geography have stayed onsite.
