About The Project
At The Portsea Camp, adventure is at the heart of everything we do, and one of our most exciting activities is the Flying Fox. Every year, thousands of children take the leap, soaring through the air and creating unforgettable memories. To keep this experience safe and enjoyable, we knew it was time to give the Flying Fox stairs a well-deserved refresh.
The Rebuild
In December 2024, we partnered with Mothmade, who expertly rebuilt our Flying Fox stairs, ensuring they were sturdy, safe, and ready for years of adventure. But we didn’t want to stop at just functionality—we wanted to bring some colour and excitement to the space!

A Splash of Colour, Thanks to Dulux
To brighten up the new stairs, we reached out to Dulux, who generously donated paint to help us create a vibrant and inviting look for our campers. Their support made all the difference, and thanks to their generosity, we received:
· 1 x 4L Dulux Chalkboard paint
· 1 x 4L Dulux Weathershield in Fun in the Sun
· 1 x 4L Dulux Weathershield in Coral Oasis
· 1 x 4L Dulux Weathershield in Dynamic Green
· 1 x 4L Dulux Weathershield in Silken Purple
· 2 x 4L Dulux Weathershield in Blue Astro
With these fantastic colours, the Flying Fox stairs now look as exciting as the activity itself!
A Huge Team Effort
Once the paint arrived, our incredible Experiences Team took over, bringing the Flying Fox tower to life with a fresh, vibrant coat of paint. A massive shoutout to Ellie, Mikaela, Brady, Billy, Luke, Celeste, and Poppy, who put in the time and effort to make the structure look absolutely amazing! Their hard work has transformed the space into a bright, fun, and welcoming area for our campers.
Special Thanks
A huge thank you to Andrew Larke from the Bellwether Foundation, who was the key connection that linked us with Dulux in the first place. His support helped make this project possible, and we truly appreciate his efforts in securing this incredible donation.
We want to extend our gratitude to Mothmade for their expert work in rebuilding the stairs, to Dulux for their generosity in providing the paint, to Andrew Larke for making the connection, and to our Experiences Team for their fantastic effort in making it all come together.
At The Portsea Camp, every detail matters when it comes to creating an unforgettable camp experience. We can’t wait for our campers to see (and climb!) the refreshed Flying Fox stairs and continue making lifelong memories
