Specialist Experiences
In addition to regular camps, cadets may be invited to participate in extended field experiences. These opportunities are based on commitment, effort and engagement, and provide unique learning experiences working alongside rangers and conservation teams.
These may include:
- Shark Bay Experience – working alongside rangers in Shark Bay for a week
- Karijini–Ningaloo Trip – exploring Karijini Gorge and Ningaloo Marine Park
- Millstream Experience – conservation work at Millstream Chichester National Park
- Ningaloo Experience – environmental work at Ningaloo Marine Park and Cape Range National Park
Community service is an essential component of the program. Cadets contribute to environmental projects both on camp and within the local community, including:
- Sand brushing and dune care
- Track building and maintenance
- Beach clean-ups
- Tree planting and revegetation projects
Local projects include involvement in:
- Inglewood Triangle Bushland
