=== Outdoors programme ===
Timbertop has an extensive outdoors programme which encompasses [[hiking]], [[downhill skiing]], [[cross-country skiing]], [[rogaining]] (a team-based [[orienteering]]<nowiki/> sport), and [[camping]].
Students begin with two training sessions at the start of the year, in which they are taught to use and clean [[trangia]] stoves, pitch tents, and correctly use their [[hiking gear]]. They then complete other hikes to places such as [[Mount Stirling|Mt. Stirling]], The Bluff, and [[Mt. Buller]], to familiarise themselves with the area, and to build up to a three-day hike, where they choose the route and its difficulty themselves. The first "Solo" session also occurs, with students spending a day by themselves in a tent on the Timbertop Campus, where they reflect, and think about goals for the year, and future life.
