TESTIMONIALS

"The Camp Kianinny team was knowledgeable, organised and engaging. As a teaching team, we felt really welcomed and supported. Our students had an absolute ball and are already asking when they can go back! The activities were highly engaging and I could see how much our students learned within the camp experience."

Sustainability at Camp Kianinny

Solar Energy - At Kianinny we do our best to have a low carbon footprint. In September 2019 we had 110 solar panels installed to provide clean electricity to all the cottages. We had an additional 220 panels installed in 2022 and we plan to continue installing more to power your accommodation with clean, natural energy generated from the sun.

Incredible Composting System - We love living in the Bega Valley & enjoy the beautiful & pristine environment that the Far South Coast has to offer. Join us by helping with our FOGO System we have in place, here at camp.

What is FOGO? It is Food Organics Garden Organics. It is a new, innovative way to manage food waste to reduce the environmental impact of sending it to landfill. With FOGO, you can put food waste including raw and cooked food and eggshells into bins with organic waste (please no meat products or bones). We then turn what goes into the bins into high quality compost at our compost area. FOGO saves on landfill and gives us all the opportunity to be smarter with waste! This project is supported by the Environmental Trust as part of the NSW EPA’s Waste Less, Recycle More initiative, funded from the waste levy. We love that our campers help us with this system here at camp! www.begavalley.nsw.gov.au/waste.

Who Gives a Crap Toilet Paper - At Camp Kianinny we use 100% recycled toilet paper from ‘Who Gives a Crap’. Who Gives a Crap donates 50% of profits to build toilets in the developing world. Good for your bum, Great for the world! We love that the thousands of children that we have go through our camps each year help to contribute to this wonderful cause! Who Gives a Crap.
