The Outdoor Education Group is a for-purpose organisation, seeking to make learning outdoors accessible to all young Australians.
Founded in 1984, our not for profit position enables us to provide outdoor education to schools and community groups across the country, while investing in improving the opportunities offered to more young Australians.
The Outdoor Education Group works with schools across the country to bring education outdoors and supports students to become real world ready. We support more than 48,000 students each year in locations across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australian, Western Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania.
We would love you to join us.
We are experts in creating an educational overlay and matrix across an outdoor education program. Our programs are designed to support your curriculum and teaching frameworks to deliver social, physical and psychological outcomes.
We believe in the power of experiential learning in the outdoors as it is:
MEANINGFUL real, applied learning and experiences with purpose, actions and consequences.
MEMORABLE the experience stands out and stays with you for life. It is fun yet challenging.
CHARACTER BUILDING it enables individuals to recognise there is more to themselves and others than they realised. It improves and builds upon an individual’s strengths.
TRANSFERABLE learning life skills to apply in multiple situations and settings. It equips individuals to thrive throughout life.
Our purpose is to make learning in the outdoors accessible for all young Australians.
The Outdoor Education Group know learning in the outdoors is a great way to enhance young people's personal development and promote physical and emotional wellbeing.
Changes in society are affecting childhood experiences. Opportunities for outdoor play and exploration are diminishing, contributing to more sedentary lifestyles, disconnected from the natural world. Learning in the outdoors increases student’s physical, mental and social health and overall.
We asked our team to share how they see their role delivering on our purpose.
When I'm out there with students, I impart my own passion and love for the outdoors and with that comes respect for the natural world. Passing on as much passion and knowledge as I can so hopefully, the students I lead can see the places we explore in the same way I see them. This includes the respecting and acknowledging that we share these spaces with others.
- Outdoor Educator, VIC
I have a passion for the outdoors stemming from childhood and teachers I had. I want to pass that on, and I have an educational background, so I do that through educating. I try my best to teach young people about animals and environments and their surrounds. I do a debrief at the end of program, which gives the students an opportunity to share with the group what they have learnt and how they feel about the outdoors.
- Outdoor Educator, VIC
In a nutshell, my role supports growth in business. For context, I design programs in consideration of three primary features: OEG, the client, and the student. My aims are to design programs that are a good fit for OEG’s internal resourcing and calendar, are within the budget and risk tolerance for the school, and are designed with the right content, physicality, and social opportunities for the students, with regard to season, and venue.
- Karrin Burroughs, National Resource and Design Co-ordinator
It's about one of two things – either giving those who don’t want to be there a one-off experience and making it the best it can be, being a doorway into the world they otherwise wouldn’t go into. And for those who have an interest in the outdoors it's about giving those young people the skills to take their friends out, their family. They learn how to camp, cook, pack a pack, so they can pass on their passion.

Working with groups made up of different demographics it allows us to impart skills and inspire development, which can support them in adulthood and to fostering some form of love of the outdoors, maybe even eventually working in the outdoors themselves to continue passing on these skills.
- Outdoor Educator, NSW
I believe my current role supports the development and progression of our field team. With a focus upon creating more sustainable professional pathways, my recent work also supports smoother program design and planning through the review of more integrated, functional leader competency systems.
- Quality Assurance Coordinator
A large part of my role is to ensure that everything that should have been done in preparation for a program has been done. As a result, students have a positive and possibly life-changing experience on camp, and the school wants to come back again!
- Head of Operations, WA
I work with a process of storm-norm. If there is a conflict we talk it out and it allows young people to become closer and appreciate their time outdoors together.
