Flood Recovery - March (boys) and May (girls)
High Country
28-31 March (14-17 year old boys)
2-5 May (14-17 year old girls)
We know that many families affected by the floods along the Goulburn River. Some cannot return home yet, others have provided safe harbour for families, and some have lost their home entirely. We will run four recovery camps for 14-17 year olds who are affected by the floods and can really do with a break. Two have already been delivered, and the next two are now open for registration, reserved for multicultural and First Nations persons from Greater Shepparton. Up to 10 participants per camp can come along. We have everything for you - from food (halal) to camping gear to head torches. All you need to bring are your clothes. There is no cost - this is free. Register now!
We are incredibly grateful for the grant from the Victorian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing that supports these camps. We'd also like to acknowledge Greater Shepparton Foundation for the grant supporting the previous two camps, and the emergency grant that helped us cover our outgoings while we volunteered our time and equipment delivering food, people, sandbags and other essentials during the flood event in Shepparton, Mooroopna, Murchison, Undera, and Barmah. It made a big difference.
For Individuals (including NDIS participants)
Group Camps
1:1 Adventure Series
We started developing our 1:1 adventures upon the request of a participant who had come along on one of our group adventures and wanted to continue working with us to build on the positive impact he felt his participation had had. While we can offer stand-alone 1:1 adventures for respite purposes or as a circuit breaker or just a "taster", we think that connecting a series of six 1:1 one-day adventures with a goal setting and attainment tracking approach is more impactful. We invite you to seek a discussion with us before you decide what you'd like to do, but read on first if you like.
Destinations include the Victorian High Country, Strathbogie Ranges, The Rivers (Broken, Goulburn, Murray), and Beechworth region.
