So, what’s this “Grrrampians” event all about, we hear you say. Well, the VicBears OG’s will most certainly remember it, but for our newer members, the Grrrampians retreat was the VicBears annual getaway from it all weekend away. The last one was held in 2016, but as part of the VicBears 30th anniversary year, we’re bringing it back! Three days of banter, bromances and bears.

Set at the foot of the majestic Southern Grampians, the Grampians Retreat is a private bushland oasis spanning 80 acres of river flats and natural bushland, where you can wander among the red gum giants, occasionally joined by kangaroos, wallabies, or other unique native Australian wildlife.

You can chill and chat around the campfire or relax in the solar-heated swimming pool. Or if you’re feeling a bit more active, you can have a crack at archery, flying fox or the giant swing.

Accommodation is shared cabin style; all meals are provided, and there are plenty of both on- and off-site activities available (some at an additional cost). The important thing about the Grrrampians event, though, is that it promotes bonding and friendship. Studies are showing frightening data that more and more men are struggling with loneliness, with only around 26% of men saying they have more than 4 close friends. This is not happening on our watch! We need to be supporting our bear brothers.
