Mentoring Teens Post Camps
Location
Adelaide
About the Program
The Camp for Kids program consists of six camps per annum. Four of these are designed for teens between 13 - 15 years. Teen boys (x2) and Teen girls (x2). Supportive buddy relationships are formed between trained camp leaders and campers. Rather than providing a one-off camp experience, the project will provide ongoing positive life-influencing guidance through mentoring in the hope of steering these people from a criminal life style.
