Orton Bradley Park is a popular picnic area just 30 minutes from Christchurch. It is open to the public during hours of daylight, but closed overnight. The park is operated by a charitable trust.

With Orton Bradley Outdoor Education Centre you will be camping in your own secluded area away from the public picnic sites.

You supply the tents and your group's plates and cutlery

Shower block: 10 instant gas showers are available for your exclusive use.

Toilets: The Park has two toilet blocks which are shared with the public

Wet weather: If it is too wet to dine outside, there is room under the verandah, or in the kitchen to seat your class. If you have a group of over 40 consider hiring a marquee to eat and meet in. The historic schoolroom is available for wet weather programmes.

Orton Bradley Park is responsible for these camping facilities. Orton Bradley Outdoor Education Centre passes all fees onto Orton Bradley Park to use for maintenance and improvements.
