Wannon school camp site opens

STANDING next to the impressive 17-metre climbing tower with students from Good Shepherd’s Year 10 cohort is The Outside Inn’s owner, Josh Bell. With a theme to wear at least one piece of clothing inside out (hence the name), the camp at Wannon opened recently and will be running multi-day recreational events regularly as it continues to be developed and upgraded to serve schools in western Victoria.

THE site of the old Wannon Primary School is once again welcoming students on its grounds, this time as a recreational activity camp, with co-owner, Josh Bell, planning to improve the facilities with an impressive list of ideas that he hopes will make it a popular destination for years to come.

Not that he hasn’t finished some substantial upgrades already - there’s a giant swing, frisbee golf, climbing tower, and outdoor cinema, with major earthworks delivering underground power and several tanks installed to recycle wastewater as well.
