Last year our winter camp was skiing for four days. This year we are going camping in the bush, abseiling, learn how to cook hungi, tramping and swimming. We also have weekly events to reward and encourage the students such as Laser Force, kayaking, movies, picnics, bush walks, beach trips etc. We also encourage the students to cook, creating plans to promote healthy eating and nutrition. Work experience is part of the course requirement. Students participate in three weeks work experience, having the opportunity to try their hands at several employment opportunities before making a final decision. Our students have the chance to be employed by the YMCA as student supervisors on the holiday programme. This gives students current work experience and a taste of employment in a controlled environment. Sports are a huge part of our course. We believe that sporting activities encourage students to try things that they havent done before such as boxing classes, capoeira (martial art), hip hop classes, gym, basketball, volleyball, indoor football and netball. We teach on an individual basis, encouraging and motivating students to succeed in all aspects of their lives whilst contributing positively to the greater community.
