What is the Weekend?

The KI Men's Weekend is a 4-day, 3-night bush camping experience on Kangaroo Island.

If you haven’t already, please see our page The Weekend.

The Practical Stuff

We depart on Thursday afternoon from the top of Old Willunga Hill and return Sunday evening. We provide transport to the island and back. Food is catered for most of the Weekend, except Thursday night — you'll need to bring something cold or buy food on the ferry.

You'll need to bring your own shelter (a small swag or compact tent), a warm sleeping bag, wet weather gear, and appropriate clothing. We'll send you a full packing list after you register.

No phones, watches, or electronic devices on the Weekend. No drugs or alcohol.

The Cost

The total cost is $400 per person. A $50 deposit secures your place, with the balance due before departure. Payment plans are available — just let us know on the registration form.

Family Involvement

Family is an important part of the Weekend. We hold a Farewell Ceremony before departure on Thursday and a Return Ceremony on Sunday evening. Your loved ones are warmly invited to both. We'll ask for their contact details during registration so we can send them the information they need.

We understand that family situations can be complex, and while this is recommended, there's no obligation.

Health & Wellbeing

This is a bush camping experience in whatever the weather. If you have any physical or mental health considerations, we want to know — not as a barrier to coming, but so we can offer the right support. There's a place on the registration form to share this, or you can get in touch directly at connect@kimensweekend.org.

What Happens After You Register

Once you've completed the form and paid your deposit, you'll receive a confirmation email straight away, followed by a series of preparation emails over the coming weeks covering gear, logistics, and getting the most out of the experience. We'll also be in touch if you've flagged anything that needs a conversation.

Your place is secured the moment your deposit is paid.
