Ern Halliday Recreation Camp was opened in 1976 by what is now known as the Department of Sport and Recreation. The site was planned and built as a dedicated camp for groups of Western Australians. While the camp has always been popular with groups as an accommodation facility, it has only been in the past decade that the department has developed adventure programs on-site. Ern Halliday offers a range of adventure programs. There is a dedicated team of highly-qualified outdoor instructors who deliver and facilitate these adventure programs, together with a facilities and cleaning team who maintain and upkeep the camp buildings and grounds.

 Is one of 7 camp schools run by the Department of Education  Ensures all staff and booked excursions are compliant with DET policies and practices, which match our own.

The Ern Halliday Recreation Camp is located on Whitfords Avenue, Hillarys, approximately 1.5km north of the Hillarys Marina. If walking from Hillarys Marina, an underpass connects the camp to Whitfords Beach and an extensive network of dual use pathways.
