Winter Open 2027

$1,200.00

8-Day Mixed-Program.

Spend time with us this winter on the farm and cross country skiing up the mountain. Have the opportunity to sleep next to snow covered gums and have breakfast in a cosy old high country hut, before heading out for some cross country skiing and shenanigans in the snow. There will be plenty of hot chocolate to drink, snowmen to make and laughter as we fall down in the snow learning to ski together.

Back on the farm we will keep warm splitting wood, milking the cow, cooking and generally contributing to the running of the property. Living, working and having fun in community with each other; away from technology and the noise of modern life.

Any young person can come on our open winter program, whether it is your first time at Mittagundi or you have completed your 10 day and fourteen follow ups! We'd love for you to join us! We have all the gear - you just need YOU!

The winter open program will start and finish at Albury train station.

Winter Opens are back for 2027!

Our winter opens were well loved in 2026 (we even ran 3 of them!) and we are already looking forward to next winter!

Any young person can come on our open winter program, whether it is your first time at Mittagundi or you have completed your 10 day and fifteen follow ups! We'd love for you to join us!

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 staff.

All programs start and finish traditionally at Albury train station and match up with the train times from Southern Cross, Melbourne.

Who can go?

Our open programs are for all young people aged 14-17 - whether it’s their 1st program or their 15th!

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know anyone else when you arrive, in fact it can be better this way, as you are free to be whoever you want to be! You don't need to be super fit either or have any experience with skiing, camping or farm life. It's all about giving it a go.

Mittagundi encourage only up to 6 students from the 1 school on any one program. Please note - young people need to have already turned FOURTEEN before they can attend a program.
