Camps
I’ve climbed an obstacle course taller than a ten storey building. I’ve danced on a chair in the middle of dinner and been squirted with water pistols. I’ve had to work blindfolded in a team of people I’ve never met before. I’ve heard real life stories from real people that have brought me to tears and changed the way I see the world. I’ve met new friends that I want to keep in touch with for the rest of my life. And that was just the first day.
Welcome to Camp Awakenings.
Camp Awakenings is an Australian youth development program for Year Nine students. Camp Awakenings is focused on building support networks for the participants through friendship and trust. Through self-belief, self-respect, a positive attitude and motivation, the participants develop and harness methods, tools and skills to counter the challenges faced by today's youth.
Camp Awakenings runs for the three days. During this time, the students participate in team building activities, as well as attend various sessions and presentations on youth related issues. They are challenged physically, mentally and emotionally throughout the program. Camp Awakenings provides its participants with a supportive environment to grow and develop. All participants learn and benefit from the camp in their own unique way.
