People Outdoors is a program of the Australian Camps Assocaition that provide residential camp programs for people living with disability (aged 6 to adulthood).
Weekend camps are conducted on a regular basis, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The groups stay in bunkhouse accommodation at Australian Camps Association Member camps. These camps are accredited by the Quality Tourism Framework. Some transport, accommodation and meal costs are covered for volunteers.
These weekend camps form the majority of our workload, but there are other program options for volunteers to select from such as day programs and school holiday camps.
Each camp or day activity has an experienced Program Leader in attendance and a People Outdoors staff member is always ‘on-call’ for the duration of the camp/activity.
People Outdoors provides training for volunteers, as well as a pre-camp information session where the campers’ needs are discussed.
For further information please contact the ACA - People Outdoors team on 03 9863 6822 to find out more about the position, our induction training sessions and to register your interest.
