We provide nature-based respite camps for young NDIS participants.We offer Respite Camps for young NDIS Participants.

A core part of what we do is facilitating friendships and strengthening bonds between participants and our activities are specifically designed to facilitate new connections, improving social skills, confidence and independence of participants. This gives our young people a chance to develop resilience and contribute to overcoming anxiety or other challengers. Ultimately, this supports young people to reach their full potential and grow into a happier person and be better equipped to face life’s inevitable future challenges.

What Sets Us Apart?

Fun – we provide experiences that are hands-on, engaging for youth and are generally nature-based. We specifically do this ins a group environment so that our youth have the opportunity to grow with others, develop social skills, independence, confidence and resilience as well as experiencing something new and possibly falling in love with a new nature-based activity! The vast majority of our campers and repeat campers and that is a testimony to how much fun the kids have, and the truly lifelong friendships that our camps forge!

Safe – with almost 10 years of experience facilitating nature-based programs for youth, our safety processes are second to none. Not only do we have a minimum 1:2 support staff to participant ratio, but we also have an additional ‘Program Coordinator’ who is a spare adult person, and we have a camp chef. Our accommodations are always exclusively for our usage only (meaning no public stay on site with us) and we also have 24-7 staff supervision > yes this means we even have staff on night duty. Our risk management process and contingency planning is high level, for all activities and the tour in general. We even have staff with specialty training for certain medical considerations if required.

Easy to Organise – Our camp sign-up and registration process has been designed specifically for busy parents/guardians and support workers. We are ultimately here to provide guardians a break, and therefore the last thing we want to do is create more paperwork for you. We have tried to make our sign up process as easy as possible and always welcome feedback to help improve it too!

Note: 83.33% of our camp programs sell out before the ‘registration cut off date’, so make sure to book in advance if there is a specific camp you wish to go on.
