Two unique programs. Same values. Different experiences.
“What’s the Difference Between Adventure Core and Adventure Plus?”
Adventure Core
Adventure Core is our foundational program — full of nature-based adventures like bush hikes, waterfall plunges, and team-building games. It’s more budget-friendly and packed with outdoor experiences that don’t require extra third-party costs.
Adventure +PLUS
Adventure +Plus includes everything in Core plus a handful of premium activities each term — think wakeboarding, escape rooms, paddleboarding, or indoor skydiving. These high-value sessions add an exciting twist to the term and make it truly memorable.

Your Child’s Adventure
Cooper Blackburn
Sunshine Coast
Cooper is one of our Sunshine Coast facilitators and brings a calm, capable, and highly engaging presence to every session. While he’s only 21, Cooper has a depth of life and leadership experience well beyond his years. His background includes time in the Army Reserves, leading large group programs at a US summer camp, and two years working in OSHC, where he became known for creating fun, active, and well-structured outdoor experiences.
What truly sets Cooper apart is how he connects with kids. He shows up as a big-brother style mentor — approachable, energetic, and genuinely invested in helping young people grow in confidence. Having once been a shy, introverted kid himself, Cooper is especially attuned to children who struggle with anxiety, social confidence, or self-belief.
With strong first aid credentials, a passion for movement, and a thoughtful mentoring approach, Cooper creates an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to challenge themselves.
Fun fact: Cooper has travelled overseas solo on motorcycles — adventure is genuinely part of his everyday life.
