Camp Willing and Able: NSW Sport and Recreation

From the NSW Sport and Recreation website:

Camp Willing and Able is a residential program suitable for people of all ages with a physical and/or intellectual disability.

The camps will provide children, teenagers and adults with the opportunity to participate in a variety of games and recreation activities. The emphasis during activities is on making friends and having fun.

Activities may include:

  • canoeing
  • sailing
  • archery
  • bike activities
  • basketball
  • tennis
  • soccer
  • indoor recreation
  • netball
  • swimming
  • craft
  • beach games
  • dance

Carers:
Volunteer carers from previous camps, new community carers and students from Southern Cross University will be rostered on throughout the camp to care and provide support for all children.

It is intended to have one carer for every two participants attending the camp. Camp organisers will take into consideration the different needs of each participant and there may be times where it is necessary to allocate one to one supervision.

For participants who normally have a personal carer, a carer must attend the camp with the participant.

Time: 9.30am Saturday to 3pm Sunday
