Who are we? Warriuka is a school adventure camping program operated by Scripture Union. We offer school groups four styles of camp: abseiling and caving, white water rafting, flat water rafting, and hiking. We have worked with over 50 schools around Western Australia, running a year round program. Warriuka began in 1987 as a camping program based on rafting (both flat and white water varieties), and so was named after an Aboriginal word for raft or boat. The program has diversified to include the current range of activities, which include abseiling, caving, bush-walking and bush-craft, canoeing, white and flat water rafting. What do we offer? We offer a complete camping package, which is run in partnership between school teachers and Warriuka staff. Why would you want to have a Warriuka Camp?
