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 a series of week- long camps over a calendar year across South East and Central Queensland
We also partner with local secondary schools to deliver an overnight program called Head2Heart.
