Volunteer story - Zak
Name: Zak
Interests: Sports, cooking, camping, being outdoors.
When did you join People Outdoors as a Volunteer and why?
I became a volunteer at the end of 2021. I had heard many great things about People Outdoors and I thought I would give it a go. I love to empower and support others. Camp is a wonderful environment where campers can be themselves.
What are your favourite activities on camp?
My favourite activity is any of the water activities. I love to go canoeing
What is your favourite memory of camp you have made so far?
I think my favourite camp memory would be when we went canoeing and we accidentally fell in. We all had great time splashing around as it was a warm day.
What would you say to people interested in volunteering with People Outdoors?
Give it go. People Outdoors is a great community. Camp is so much fun and very rewarding.
For 35 years, the Australian Camps Association (ACA), has provided supported camps and outdoor experiences for kids, teens, and adults living with disability through its People Outdoors program...
