Boyne Island Environmental Education Centre is an excursion and camp facility open to schools all over Central Queensland. Their mission is to add value to the school-based curriculum by delivering authentic, stimulating, real-world learning experiences beyond the capacity of the classroom. Principal Michael Gabriel said,

“When students visit the centre we like to give them hands-on learning experiences in the environment. We’re doing a lot of real-word science, especially in biology.  We investigate local environments, being a coastal area we do a lot of work in the Boyne River, the mangroves and down at the beach. We also do a lot of outdoor education; we have a high and low ropes course and regularly go canoeing along the river.”
