It's like Hogwarts Down Under!

At Wattlebrush, we concoct natural perfumes, build dragon dens and fly broomsticks through obstacle courses. Guided by the adventures of Hogwarts, our immersive activities for grades 5-7 are designed to cultivate wonder, self-discovery, and a deep connection to nature. We aim to empower young enchanters to become confident, compassionate, and curious individuals who embrace the magic of life. Our next week-long Wizardry and Bushcraft camps run in the September School Holidays. Send us an owl to add your Wiz-Kid to the sorting hat.

Wattlebrush is about exploring the magic of your own backyard and making incredible childhood memories. Our activities are immersive, supportive and run by registered teachers. We’re all about supporting local families with magic school holiday care solutions.

Our next journey starts September Holidays. Each camp runs for one week, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday to Friday. We aim to build friendships across the week, but if you’d only like to join for specific days, just get in touch!

Our home is the magnificent Morningside Scout Hall in Balmoral Park. With ample parking and outdoor spaces, it's the perfect backdrop for our fantastical adventures.

Why?

Wattlebrush isn't just a holiday program— we’re about igniting curiosity, nurturing creativity, and fostering lasting friendships. We want to provide a space where people can be themselves, explore their passions, and discover the magic within.
