We offer a diverse range of age-appropriate camps throughout the year, giving you the chance to experience memorable holidays and make new friends.
We understand the importance of families getting a break from caring responsibilities with the knowledge their loved one is having fun, enjoying new experiences, and developing skills in a safe and supported environment.
NDIS Funding
If you have an NDIS package, NDIS rates will apply. These activities come under ‘Core Supports’. Support costs are charged from your NDIS plan and are separate to activity costs.
Camp Activity Costs
Costs are an out-of-pocket cost that covers the client’s expenses for the duration of camp for things such as accommodations, activities etc. Activity costs can be paid from a participants NDIS plan under certain circumstances outlined by the NDIS, with prior understanding, confirmation and consent from participant, plan nominee, LAC or support coordinator.
Medication
If the participant attending will be bringing medication to the camp, a medication treatment sheet is required to be completed for each camp attended. All medications in tablet and capsule form should be in a Webster pack from the chemist. For any other types of medications, please keep them in their original packaging with labels intact.
Cancellations
Cancellations made within 7 days of the camp (including COVID-19 related cancellations) will incur a charge for the supports. All our camps are paid for in advance, a cancellation fee equal to the price of the activity cost will apply if a replacement person cannot be found, regardless of when the cancellation is made. Pre-booked activity costs will be charged if cancellation occurs.
Please note, you will be charged an administration fee for:
