CAMP OPPORTUNITY 2019

Camp Opportunity is a week long live in camp for special-needs adult “Campers”, between the ages of 18 and 35 years, to team with an able-bodied carer “Buddy” for a week of adventure as they mix and interact in a fun atmosphere to share new friendships and experiences.

Camp Opportunity runs from Sunday 13th to Saturday 19th January 2019.

Camp Opportunity is held at the Point Walter Recreation Centre, Bicton which is a dormitory style camp with rooms for 4 people: each has its own bathroom.

The Campers and Buddies engage in many and varied activities including Archery, Abseiling, Flying Fox, Ten Pin Bowling, Adventure World, Zoo visit, T-shirt screen printing, Disco & Karaoke, Water Sports (biscuit and boat rides), Kite Making, Art and Craft, Talent Night and lots of swimming and laughter.

Robyn Penny the organising Secretary presented the plans for District 9455 Camp Opportunity 2019.

She showed a video from 2018 Camp and a slide show “MY EXPERIENCE” where one of the campers commented very positively on the benefits of the camp
