STAGE TWO: HELPING THE MOUNTAINS

The program is slightly different to that of a Stage One. Stage II’s may camp together in one big group (maximum of 24 young people with four or five staff) or in two smaller groups (12 young people with 2 staff). This is a great opportunity to really get to know the other people on the program. 

When Stage Twos go hiking their main purpose is to work on a conservation project in our local area. This means we often carry tools and any thing else we might need with us. In the past, Stage II’s have worked on building and maintaining hiking tracks, rebuilding sections of old high country huts, or revegetation in important conservation areas. This is all done with the assistance of Wollangarra staff members and sometimes professionals in the field (like Parks Victoria Rangers, stone masons or local walking club members). We also make sure that we have a rest day going for a wander up a river bed or up a mountain nearby. 

All holiday program bookings are online, with the next holiday program opening at the start of each school term. School holiday programs currently cost $275 per participant. We aim to keep this cost as low as possible, and try to ensure that Wollangarra programs are accessible to all young people who want to attend.  Full and partial sponsorship's are available on every course. 

If a program is fully booked online and you wish to be placed on the waiting list, please call the homestead (03) 5148 0492. For sponsorship please send a note from the contact us section and we will call you for a chat.

Bookings close two weeks before the stage I, so we can receive all medical forms and send out transportation information to you prior to the program.
