Set in the stunning Numinbah Valley, PCYC Bornhoffen is the perfect spot for leadership retreats and outdoor learning, with rainforest trails, mountain views and purpose-built facilities.
Our Leadership Development programs use experiential and adventure-based learning, connection to nature, reflective practices and group processes to support people and their learning journey.
Retreat to Bornhoffen for reflection and relaxation. We have two venue options available, Wagawn and Hobwee. Both take their names from local peaks in Lamington National Park, connecting to our ecological and cultural heritage.
Reconnect with nature at PCYC Bornhoffen, where stunning mountain views and peaceful surrounds create the perfect setting to unwind and recharge.

Our facilities are designed for both comfort and adventure, and include:
• Group accommodation for up to 193 people
• Swimming poolÂ

At PCYC Bornhoffen, our programs are designed to inspire learning, strengthen wellbeing, and develop leadership through adventure-based experiences, reflection, and meaningful connection to nature. We offer flexible, facilitated programs that cater to schools, community groups, and youth organisations, with a strong focus on personal growth, teamwork, and lifelong learning.
For schools, our Outdoor Education and Duke of Edinburgh programs blend structured adventure with experiential learning. Options include cabin-based stays, expedition-style journeys, or a hybrid of both—designed to suit different age groups and comfort levels. Whether it’s hiking, canoeing, or sleeping under the stars, students are challenged and supported in memorable ways that align with their learning goals and school curriculum.
We also partner with community organisations to deliver inclusive programs tailored to diverse needs. From leadership development and outdoor adventure interventions to advanced facilitation training and bespoke program design, we support young people and adults in building confidence, resilience and stronger community connections—at PCYC Bornhoffen or across Queensland.
PCYC Bornhoffen school camps offer unforgettable experiences where adventure, connection, and personal growth come to life in the heart of the Gold Coast Hinterland.
