ROAM delivers the very best small-group school holiday programs on the Mid-North Coast!

Our three-day programs are jam-packed with hiking, rock climbing, wild swimming, and a short daily Christian discovery session. Register today for the highlight of your holidays. Come ROAM with us.

Dates & Time:

The ROAM program runs for three full days. Daily drop-off is between 9:00 am - 9:30 am, and pick-up is between 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm.

Group size and participant age:

Participants must be between 13 years and 17 years of age. Adult volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. The minimum group size is 10 participants, and the maximum group size is 16 participants.

Venue & Daily Excursions:

Each day the program will start and finish at St Thomas' Anglican Church - 50 Hay St, Port Macquarie NSW 2444.

Whilst each day will start and finish at this venue, the bulk of each day will be spent off-site on an excursion.
