Respite Teens Camp (October 11 until October 13) - For Ages 13 to 16

Your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities. We maintain a high staff-to-child ratio, ensuring that every child receives close supervision throughout their stay. They are also skilled in supporting for children with disabilities.

We have a detailed medication management process in place. Before the camp, we will ask you to complete a medical form detailing your child’s medication needs, including the dosage and times. Our staff are trained to administer medication as per your instructions.

You can provide detailed information about their specific requirements. Our kitchen is equipped to handle these needs, and our staff are trained in preparing meals that are safe and nutritious for all children. Each child’s dietary requirements are clearly communicated to staff.

We take food allergies and intolerances very seriously. The staff is trained in safe food handling practices. When you register your child, you will have the opportunity to provide detailed information about any allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions.

Children are grouped according to age and needs in dormitory-style rooms. Each child will have their own bed with fresh linens provided. We take care to create a calm and comfortable environment for all children, including those who may need additional support or adjustments. Staff are on hand 24/7

Our camp offers a wide range of activities tailored to the abilities and interests of all children. These include arts and crafts, sports, nature walks, storytelling, and games designed to be inclusive and fun. Our team carefully plans activities to encourage social interaction and confidence.

Our staff is trained in positive behaviour support and de-escalation techniques. We work closely with you to understand your child’s unique needs and preferences before camp begins, and we will develop a plan to ensure your child feels safe and supported.

We will provide you with a packing list suited to the camp's needs, including clothing, personal items, and any necessary medical equipment or supplies. We recommend labelling all items with your child's name.

We understand that every child is unique, and we strive to create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive. Our staff takes the time to get to know each child, providing gentle support and encouragement. We also offer a camp orientation to help children familiarise with the environment.

If your child needs to contact you, they can speak to a staff member who will facilitate a phone call. We encourage regular updates to keep you informed about how your child is doing, and if you have any concerns or need to reach us.
