Our Vision:

We envision a world where more people think and act to support: positive relationships with themselves; dynamic, healthy communities; and the sustainability of life.

Our mission:

To deliver excellence in Outdoor Education through partnerships with our clients, in order to prepare young people for the personal, social and environmental challenges in their lives.

Values:

We encourage respect and taking responsibility for self, others and the natural world.

Founded in 1984, the Outdoor Education Group (OEG) is an independent non-profit organisation with 82 partner schools and tertiary institutions as clients. We teach 20,000 students on adventure based, outdoor experiential learning courses ranging from 2 to 33 days in length.

OEG custom-designs outdoor learning programs to suit a client’s educational parameters. Each school decides its learning outcomes which OEG then determines a location, style and program to suit, in full consultation.

Our expertise is in fully staffed, equipped and resourced bush and journey based programs, with a high level of pre and post program education, evaluation, support and interaction.

OEG has administrative and operational bases in Eildon, Victoria and Moss Vale, NSW. We run programs in a diverse range of environments throughout Eastern Australia. Eleven staff are permanently seconded to partner schools in Melbourne and Sydney.

OEG is governed by a voluntary board of directors drawn from business, schools and the outdoor profession.
