What's it all about?
A fabulous weekend of forging friendships, gaining life skills and enjoying a tonne of fun!
The Rainbow Families Resilience Camp is is about building children’s inner strength while also enriching their outer world with friendship and a sense of belonging to a connected inclusive and safe community.
Why we do it
This camp’s goals include helping children create supportive relationships, build autonomy and responsibility, manage emotions, and engage with opportunities for personal challenges.
Every year there is a fully planned program for children during the camp. Children will have a choice of outdoor group challenges and activities facilitated by a Department of Sport and Recreation Leaders, and creative workshops. There will also be a resilience workshop for LGBTQ+ parents including gay dads, lesbian mums, trans and gender diverse parents facilitated by Social Worker Vanessa Gonzalez.
Who can join in?
The camp is designed for primary school children (aged 5 and above) and their families. Children under the age of 5 will have full access to the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation facilities (excluding the activities) and the beautiful location to explore with their parents or carers. Please be aware, children under 5 are not able to participate in the workshops, but there will be craft supplies on hand to help keep little people busy.
Meet new friends
Because we know many children and adults may not know other campers, the camp also includes activities to support meeting and making new friends. Come with the spirit of sharing and getting to know your children better, and maybe making some friends yourself.
Tickets
Tickets include all meals from Friday night to Sunday lunch, accommodation for 2 nights activities on both days and resilience workshops.
