“One of the things that a place like Mittagundi does best, is the way it can help a young person, by providing a real break from all the rush, pressure and complexity of their normal lifestyle, to assist them in the process of sorting out what they want to do with the adult life that they are about to embark upon.”
Sponsorship / Payment Plans
We believe that NO young person should miss out on Mittagundi due to financial constraints. If you would like to apply for a sponsorship place on any of our programs or set up a payment plan that suits your financial circumstances, please complete this form here
Our 10 day program sees groups of up to 24 young people walk away from electricity and modern comforts, through the Victorian High Country and into the 400 acre farm, that is Mittagundi. They spend time working together on the farm, fencing, growing food, milking cows, working with wood, steel and wool. They embark on adventures rafting the Mitta Mitta River and abseiling off a local cliff face before hiking back to civilisation.
The atmosphere at Mittagundi is simple, honest and happy. There are no watches, no timetables and no money. Instead there is an opportunity for young people to live and work together with others in an environment where people matter more than anything else.
Mittagundi prides itself on offering opportunities to as many young people as possible. In saying this we need to be able to offer the correct support where necessary. Mittagundi is not a therapeutic outdoor education centre. We can accommodate young people with special needs and this process begins by having a conversation with our Director.
All programs start and finish traditionally at Albury train station.
Please note - young people need to have already turned FOURTEEN before they can attend a program.
