WHO ARE WE?

Our Vision

This is a developing self-confidence through
self-discovery in an outdoor environment.

Hobbiton promotes environmental and social awareness, cross-cultural appreciation and the development of life and leadership skills through our facilities and in the natural setting of our centre. This includes generating enough funding to provide the ‘Hobbiton experience’ to less fortunate children.

A history of making a difference

Hobbiton was founded during the late 1940s to enable war orphans to experience positive play and learning in a natural and stimulating environment.

This means that we have been making a difference in the lives of young people for over 75 years! We have stayed true to this mission and continue to run camps every year for children from less privileged backgrounds.
