Beautiful Bello
The beautiful regional town of Bellingen is home to Camp Creative.
Bellingen – ‘Bello’ to locals – was once a dairy village.
Today, it’s known for its eclectic mix of boutique shops, galleries, restaurants, cafés, and bars.
In Bello, you can find a vibrant community of artists, musicians, artisans, and festivals dedicated to music and the arts.
You can find Camp courses all over Bellingen.
As well as the main venues, Bellingen High School and St Mary’s Primary School, courses run in community halls and venues throughout town.
It’s an easy walk to most places. Or get around on our shuttle bus.
