During your stay I would like to help you find your perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. A day could bespent by the pool, baking some treats, watching a movie or even using the home gym. If a bit of adventure iswhat you like then exploring the Great barrier reef and local islands is only a boat ride away.

I have worked in a range of roles and environments with kids with ASD from community access, residential care, school engagement, and emotional regulation with both carers and clients.

All-Abilities Teen Camps
Our sleepover weekend camps bring together young people of different abilities. We focus on fun and making friends through active and playful activities outdoors. Our approach is to encourage teens to find common bonds while we also celebrate the qualities that make us all unique. We feel it is important to get young people off their devices and out into the natural world, where they can learn to have fun without screens. For young people looking to make connections to people and nature, this is the place!
Facilitated by an activities leader, support workers and a team nurse, our camps are well-suited for young people who may need extra support and attention, but are ready for the challenge of a multi-day adventure. As an added bonus, while the teens are having fun parents get a respite from their caring responsibilities.
You will find that your child returns home with new friends, and with a sense of independence and confidence after having stretched their comfort levels.
