Uni Camp for Kids Summer Camps 2023

Our Summer Camps are the biggest event of our calendar year, and they are the ultimate embodiment of our mission to positively impact the long-term mindset of seriously at-risk children in the Perth community. Our camps achieve this by offering a unique combination of two key elements that are fundamental to a healthy childhood: positive childhood experiences, and exposure to positive personal relationships, role models and social interactions. This January, we are running 2 x week long Camps at Point Peron Camp School, Rockingham to provide volunteer opportunities to students and provide relief from stressful home circumstances for the most disadvantaged children of Perth.

As a brief overview, the Camps will run from 1st-15th of January 2023, with approximately 140 ppx on EACH camp (85 kids and 55 volunteer leaders). On Camps we have 2 main roles that student volunteers can apply for: Leaders and Freelancers. All Leading volunteers are organised pre-camp into Uni Camp “families” consisting of appoximately 8 each, normally with a male and female leader responsible for 3 boys and 3 girls. All Freelancing volunteers are not assigned to any specific kids and, instead, have the responsibility of running the behind-the-scenes aspects of camp, ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely and supporting Leaders when necessary.
