Get ready

Prior to the camp you will be sent an itinerary, packing list and meeting place. You and your loved one can start getting ready for the adventure!

Drop off

On arrival at the meeting place, you will be greeted by the Camp Delivery Team and introduced to your Camp Leader who will support you throughout the camp. You will also meet your fellow participants – prepare for some seriously legendary friendships in the making! Now it’s time to say goodbye to your loved ones and let the adventure begin.

Camp begins!

Depending on your itinerary, you will now head straight to the campsite or to an awesome activity on the way. You will enjoy all your meals with the group and plenty of snacks in between.

First night on camp

On arrival at the campsite, you will be briefed on the camp itinerary and guidelines for safe enjoyment. You will then have time to unpack, settle in and join in some activities with the group. In the evenings, campers participate in relaxing activities such as movie nights, board games and talent shows. At bedtime, you will sleep in dormitory style accommodation with your fellow campers and camp leaders.

Wake up and the fun continues

Our camps range from 2 to 4 nights, so you will wake with another adventure ahead of you. Each camp has plenty of outings and activities planned to suit the age and ability group.

Pick up

At the end of the camp, you will return to the meeting place to say your goodbyes to all the new friends you have made and be greeted by your loved one. You are sure to be tired, but bursting with exciting stories from your time away.

After the camp

Your Camp Leader will complete notes detailing your progress towards NDIS goals and your time on camp overall. These will be sent out to your loved one by our family relationship officers following the camp. Now is the time to book into your next camp and get ready to make more memories!
