Discover Learning in the Heart of Nature

At Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre, we create educational experiences that inspire, challenge, and connect. Our programs are designed to:
Build life skills such as organisation, teamwork, confidence, persistence, and resilience
Foster sustainable living practices
Spark an adventurous spirit through exciting outdoor activities and challenges
Provide safe, hands-on experiences in nature
Highlight the lifelong benefits of outdoor pursuits for enjoyment, health, and wellbeing

All our programs are linked directly to the Australian Curriculum, with a strong focus on the Personal and Social Capabilities and the Critical and Creative Thinking capabilities — especially problem solving and reflection.

As an Education Queensland school, we believe students learn best through community living, active participation, and shared challenges. Whether it’s team-building exercises, water-based adventures, or high ropes activities, our approach encourages growth, connection, and fun.


We offer two stunning campus options:
Black Gully Campus – Perfect for groups of up to 60, this site offers tent camping right on the dam’s edge. Guests enjoy catered meals, toilet facilities, and hot showers, all surrounded by nature.
Barron River Campus – Ideal for larger groups of up to 120, this campus provides comfortable dormitory-style accommodation in a beautiful dam side  setting.
Your adventure in learning starts here.


Residential Programs

Turn learning into an adventure!
At TEEC, we create unforgettable programs for students in Years 6–12. Whether it’s 5 days / 4 nights, 4 days / 3 nights, or a quick 3-day / 2-night getaway, every camp is packed with hands-on experiences, challenges, and fun—tailored to your school’s needs.

Day Visit Programs

Big learning in just one day!
Our day visit programs give local schools a fun, hands-on way to explore environmental and outdoor education—no overnight stay needed. Each program is designed to inspire curiosity, build skills, and connect students with the world around them, all in a single action-packed day.

Leadership Programs

Inspiring tomorrow’s leaders, today.
At TEEC, we partner with schools to create tailor-made leadership programs for Years 11 and 12, helping students build confidence, teamwork, and real-world skills. Each year, we also host a special 'Year 6 Leadership Extension Program' for School Captains in our local catchment—empowering young leaders from the very start of their journey.

Expedition Programs

Adventure starts here.
Perfect for Year 7–12 students, these immersive 4- or 5-day programs adapt to your group size and goals. Based away from our Black Gully site, they deliver a true expedition-style adventure—complete with challenges, teamwork, and unforgettable moments. Talk to our team to create the ideal experience for your school.
