Adventure Activities
Adventure activities like hut building, bushwalking, ropes course or making nature mobiles are a great opportunity for team building, and for young people to just hang out together and create strong connections.
Satellite Camps are three-day overnight camps for ages 8 – 12 and 12 – 15. These camps are one of Satellite’s highlights and extremely popular, often with a waiting list! Satellite Camps take place every school holiday.
Satellite Camps cater for young people with family members who experience mental health challenges, giving them the opportunity for respite from their caring role and the chance to make lasting memories and friendships.
The types of camps and the venues are tailored to the children’s ages. There is a camp for children aged 8 – 12 (in primary school) and another for young people 12 – 15 which has a focus on emerging leadership.
With a mixture of engaging outdoor and indoor activities, young people get to have fun, be creative and make new friends while building their skills and confidence.
They’ll meet other young people who are going through similar experiences, with plenty of positive role modelling through the adult and peer leaders.
Adventure activities like hut building, bushwalking, ropes course or making nature mobiles are a great opportunity for team building, and for young people to just hang out together and create strong connections.
Indoor activities are just as fun! Quiet activities like creative drawing, journaling, jewellery making or tie-dying, means there’s plenty of time to build friendships and space for sharing personal experiences.
It’s a safe environment with plenty of support to talk about what helps in tricky times, healthy coping strategies and staying safe.
With a focus on making sure our camps are fun, safe, and inclusive spaces, we always have a high leader-to-participant ratio and include peer camp leaders who offer great positive role modelling.
This ensures everyone’s safety, enables strong connections, and provides young people with the support they need.
