How the City Host program works
-
Develop your program
When developing your program, Urban Camp will discuss whether a trained City Host could support your group’s travel through Melbourne
-
Confirm your support
Choose half-day or full-day City Host support for your group. Urban Camp confirms availability, pricing and the City Host arrangements with your program.
-
Meet your City Host
Your City Host accompanies your group, leads the route between activities and responds when transport conditions change.
Less time navigating Melbourne. More time supporting your student’s adventures.
Teachers must always retain responsibility for student supervision, headcounts, behaviour, welfare and required adult-to-student ratios. Your City Host takes care of the transport logistics.
What support looks like on the day
Meet at the agreed meeting point: The City Host checks the day’s route and planned booking times with the teachers.
Travel to the first attraction: The City Host leads the walking and public transport route while teachers supervise the students.
Move between venues: The City Host watches timing, identifies the correct stops and adjusts the route if services are disrupted.
Complete the booked City Guide period: The City Host finishes at the agreed time and location set out with the school’s program.
Flexible Support for your program
Available for selected Urban Camp school programs. One City Host supports a group of up to 45 students. Pricing and availability are confirmed with your program.
