Woodlands Outdoor Education Centre — Local services in Glasbury

I went on a school residential there and it was okay. I liked the venue and the fact that it has it's own high ropes and climbing wall course. I can't blame much on the staff, but I will say they tried to embarrass you more when you do something wrong. It's worth mentioning that the student lounge had a funny smell that never seemed to spill out even when the door was wide open. I wanted to point that out.

Everyone else in my group agreed with me in saying that he was not nice to us and made it a bad experience. I don’t think he should be doing that as he made my time there a nightmare and made me want to go home the entire time. I would not come again with the fear of him being...

Best week ive had on a trip ever, ill definetly miss this place. And if i asked to live there forever with my friends on go on trips everyday, id say yes in a heartbeat.
