About Balmain Camp:

Balmain Adventure Camp is based out of the Balmain Sailing Club and/or Birchgrove Public School Hall (depending on the time of year).  With only a short walk to nearby Dawn Fraser Baths, Elkington Park & Birchgrove Oval, this is a great spot to base our teams over a 3-day Adventure.
