Respite Camp · Ages 18+

Y Retreat camps are unique weekends away for people of all abilities. They empower campers to have the choice and control over their weekend away. Y Retreat offers campers social connection, choice and control and the opportunity to develop their independent living skills.

These camps are best suited for campers with 1:3 and 1:4 support needs, 18 years and over.

In October 2026, we are trialling an Underage Y Retreat camp for ages 7-17 years!
