The Outdoor Education Group (OEG) is a for-purpose organisation, seeking to make learning outdoors accessible to all young Australians.

We help young Australians realise their personal best by creating experiences in the outdoors to grow their sense of self and the core skills that will help them navigate their future.

We help students grow; we help schools perform. We help parents enjoy more mature, independent children, helping young people become real world ready. From providing industry-leading pre-set courses to fully tailored, contextualised programs, we connect with schools across the country to bring education outdoors. 

Our ‘not for profit’ status is central to our work as it enables us to offer excellent value, support worthy projects and invest in improving our participant’s experience in the outdoors.

Founded in 1984, we employ 400+ diversely talented and experienced staff, and even have our own accredited training academy. To date, we’ve educated and cared for 2 million students (and counting).

We believe in the power of experiential learning in the outdoors because 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. 

We achieve this through a firm belief in our values of respect and taking responsibility for self, others and the natural world.
