Respite Camp · Ages 7–17

Our Underage Camps are inclusive, supported camps designed for children and young people aged 7 – 17 years, with a disability. Held as 2–3 night camps across Victoria, these experiences provide a safe and fun environment where participants can build confidence, independence and social connections.

Camps offer meaningful opportunities to try new activities, develop life skills and make friendships, while being supported by experienced staff and strong safeguarding practices. They also provide valuable short-term respite for families and carers, with peace of mind knowing their child is safe, supported and included.

Our person-centred approach ensures each young person is respected, supported and encouraged to enjoy new experiences, achieve their goals and feel a strong sense of belonging.
