Adult Winter Program

UPDATE - this program is now FULL with a waiting list

We have a "one off super special opportunity" that has never happened before - and may never happen again.  Join us to experience Mittagundi's unique 'ski tour and farm stay' programs - for adults.   We have ONE program available from Wednesday 23rd August - Sunday 27th August that we are opening up to adults. There are only 15 spaces available and they will fill quickly.  An opportunity to  cross country ski, snow camp, cook and eat in pioneer huts and contribute to farm life at Mittagundi's 400 acre property. 

Mittagundi is way more that a simple farm stay, it is an opportunity to experience simple healthy living. Mittagundi programs are like no other in the sense that they provide a unique chance to actually live without their phones, computers or indeed any electricity or modern conveniences. This builds resilience, capabilities and confidence and allows for some much needed “time out”. At Mittagundi people engage with their peers and explore themselves in an open, honest and personable way.

Does this sound like something that YOU would like to experience? Jump over to our Programs page and book now!
