About Scotts Creek
The outdoor activities program takes place primarily in the tranquil environment of Scotts Creek Outdoor Centre. A College facility since 1976, Scotts Creek is located on a secluded but idyllic branch of the River Murray near Morgan.
Our experienced and qualified staff provide a supportive environment in which students can feel comfortable and secure throughout their stay. Teachers from the Kent Town campus accompany their students on these programs and give special attention to the well-being and development of the individual.
In short, the program is fun, challenging and unforgettable.
