The training camp location of choice.

School groups have the chance to discover the educational athletic experience of a lifetime at Australia's centre of sporting excellence - the AIS.

With world-class sporting facilities, leading sports scientists and experienced coaches, students will live, train and learn at the AIS.

This whole experience takes place on-site at the AIS, with students staying at the AIS athletes' residence and dining in the AIS Dining Hall.
