Thunderbird Park Camp
An Adventure Camp for Autistic young people.
Our Thunderbird Park camp is one of our more adventurous camps. Camp participants will have an adventure packed weekend, braving the thrilling Tree Top Adventure Park, battling it out in Laser Skirmish, fossicking for Thunder Eggs in the open air mine, or operating real excavator machinery and construction inspired activities at the new Dig It excavator park!
Evenings offer the opportunity for activities within our venue to bring our community together – teens and tweens will have activities to form teams and join in the fun with a range of activities on offer and peer led discussions.
Parent education and training is supported with Allied Health sessions during the camp with a range of talks and discussion opportunities helping deliver learning opportunities to understand and support their child’s needs. Everyone is provided with a camp welcome book full of articles to guide and educate parents further including understanding and supporting sensory needs, parenting strategies for demand avoidance children, and more.
There will be time to unwind by spending time in the calming room and socialising with others, attending workshops led by allied health specialists, walking to the stunning waterfall, and watching the wild birds being fed.
