Programs

These camps are specifically designed for people who want to boost independence, social skills and community participation. Small groups and a high staff-to-participant ratio make sure you get the individual attention you need. Everything is provided - all you need to bring are clothes and a drink bottle. Our destinations include the Victorian High Country (4 days), the Great Otways (4 days), the Grampians (4 days), the Victorian Deserts (4 days), and the NSW Outback (7 days). Camps all year round and costs vary between $2,500 and $5,000 per participant, depending on duration of the camp. If you are on a self-managed or provider-managed NDIS plan, you may be able to claim participation costs - please check with your plan manager and support coordinator (if applicable). If you're ready to register, hit the button below to see which adventures are currently open for registration. And if you have any questions, please be in touch on [email protected].

If you think you'd benefit from getting out and about on a regular basis and want to combine this with conversations and activities designed to build you self-confidence, independence, fitness, and community participation capacity, this is for you! We started the 1:1 Adventure Series on the request of camps participants and really enjoyed watching our participants grow - so now, we make this component available as a standalone program. We learnt that our participants really value the 1:1 aspect because it gives them freedom to talk and be listened to - or be quiet for a little while. We pick you up and drop you off at your home and pick our destinations and activities together with you, and we tailor our content to assist with your personal goals. If you are on a self-managed or provider-managed NDIS plan, you may be able to claim participation costs, which are roughly $1,250 for a full day. Everything is included - food, water, adventure equipment, and of course our approachable and caring staff.

We've had a lot of interest from schools to develop initiatives that address localised issues. Whether it's the mental health affects of drought, or bringing about better social inclusion, or fostering aspirations and healthy relationships - our approach can be adapted for different contexts and participants depending on age, capabilities, and intended outcomes.

We tend to work intensively with schools, communities and families well before we hit the tracks, including visits and presentations tailored to specific audiences. We like to integrate community/school representatives as volunteer staff joining the adventure, which also helps sustaining our impact. After the adventure, we follow up with each participant's family and the school / community. In some instances, we provide intensive supports for individuals we're particularly concerned about. This can include soft referrals to (mental) health service providers, a GP, or social service providers.

Absolutely everything is provided, from risk management and registration processes right through to fishing tackle, swags, sleeping bags and food. We're insured and experienced in working with people with diverse needs.

The cost of an initiative depends somewhat on the design - the number of participants, the destination, the number of staff required, and the intensity of preparation and follow-up work. Call us for a chat, or submit a booking enquiry and we'll get in touch.

Not a young person but keen to hit the tracks with us for the thrill of it? Well, did you know that we're licensed tour operators in VIC and NSW and that we run monthly single-day adventures accessible to adults as well as two multi-day camps each year? Tracks 4 Trauma is a fundraising mechanism for Giz A Break that helps us provide more access to free programs for kids with complex trauma who don't have another avenue of accessing us.
