Camps in VIC for kids & teens, adults and families
People Outdoors are experts in providing outdoor recreation for people of all ages living with disability. They were established in 1989 as a branch of the Australian Camps Association and currently run programs at various locations in Victoria.
People Outdoors camps are outcomes focused and are all about fun, personal development, social connection and enjoying the great outdoors. There are camps for kids and teens, for adults, and for families/all ages.
Camp programs include overnight through to four-day residential camps and provide people living with disability the opportunity to experience the social and developmental benefits of adventure outdoors. In some cases, participation is assisted by their charity, the People Outdoors Fund.
Programs are staffed by trained and passionate professionals and volunteers. People Outdoors camps are hallmarked by a high level of communication with parents/guardians and campers, including a personal pre-camp intake meeting and post program evaluation. The Australian Camps Association is a registered NDIS service provider certified with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and accredited with the Quality Tourism Framework. Programs are run only at accredited Australian Camps Association member residential camps.

On our last camp there was a gathering of families with the same genetic mutation.
