Our river cleanups increase participants' connection with Birrarung, themselves, and each other. By improving river health, participants feel better, too.

Burndap Birrarung burndap umarkoo, what's good for the Yarra is good for all.

Whether immersed in a weeklong adventure or an afternoon river cleanup, our programs engage with our 'regenerative cycles of being' framework:

Our Human Contribution: Come with intent, come with an open mind, be prepared to let go, be prepared to collaborate (self, other, nature).

Immerse: Find connection: (with humans and more-than-humans), find yourself.

Connected by the Deep: Slow down, connect, consider, look, listen, feel, touch, smell, taste

Deconstruct/ Reconstruct: Regeneration requires we let go of something to be part of something else: Let go, play, coalesce, journal, make memory markers.

Memory Markers: write, create Stories, take an action, take time to reflect, make connections.

Up the Creek programs activate and develop the necessary skills for navigating life in a complex, drastically changing world.

Upon the water, we learn to dance with forces beyond our control, collaborate with each other in spaces of uncertainty, and sink into and learn from systems larger than our individual worlds. And in the process, we activate creativity and care rather than paralysis and despair.

“Education must, as it were, simultaneously provide maps of a complex world in constant turmoil and the compass that will enable people to find their way in it.” — Jacques Delors, Learning: The Treasure Within (UNESCO report)

In an era where well-being and academic success are increasingly challenged by digital overwhelm, experiential learning with Up The Creek offers a powerful balance. When young people step away from screens and into nature’s embrace, something magical happens.

Regenerative by Nature

Our regenerative school camps don’t just offer outdoor activities: They create transformative experiences where students become active participants in nature’s renewal, while discovering their innate capacity for positive change. In these moments of quiet connection and purposeful action, we nurture tomorrow’s environmental stewards.

Evie J Taylor's ( ) wonderful projection-based installation 'Threading the Waters' event at Abbotsford Convent last year as part of Birrarung River Fest.

Engaging with river systems, this work seeks to prompt a conversation between community and the environment, touching on ideas of ecological memory and belonging in place.
