Holiday Camp of Hope

A LOWER PLENTY holiday camp is stitching together fragmented and disadvantaged communities with the human chain of kindness.

Edmund Rice Camps chief executive Mark Monahan said a lack of social cohesion continued to rate highly among new arrivals and families on the poverty line.

“A lot of families we work with stay at home and have very little contact with the outside world, apart from their kids attending school, because they feel worthless in the community,” Mr Monahan said.

What we do:

We have run camps and programs that provide opportunities for participants aged between 8 and 15 years to share new experiences with volunteer leaders aged 16 and older. Edmund Rice Camps have given many participants their first experience of camping out over night, swimming at the beach, canoeing, abseilling, bushwalking, even going to the cinema or telling jokes around a campfire. The camps promote interaction between leaders and participants, which provides an opportunitiy for the development of friendship and trust. Our participants and leaders learn a little about themselves, about people and about life.
