OUR PROGRAMS

In Queensland, we offer four styles of Edmund Rice Camps, each catering to the needs of our local communities.

Our programs typically take place during school holidays and are designed and implemented by our volunteers, who make up a Leadership team.

We deliver 6 week- long camps per year; 3x Traditional, 2x Hybrid and 1x Family.

We also partner with local secondary schools to deliver an overnight program called Head2Heart; 6x H2H per year.

Check out our camp and Head2Heart dates for 2020 by clicking on these links: HEAD2HEART dates or CAMP dates.

Traditional camps are original model of program.

Children are specifically buddied with volunteer mentors for the program of games and team- building activities.

hybrid

Hybrid camps are for the teenagers!

We don't match our teens too tightly with a buddy, to allow for a more organic approach to peer-mentoring, where participants are free to connect with those they have things in common with.

Suitable for children aged 14-16

family

Family camps are super unique and super awesome!

We invite an entire family unit onto a program to work together with volunteers to support strong relationships within the unit.

Suitable for all ages.
