Welcome

Camp Opportunity is a week long live in camp for young special-needs adult “Campers”, between the ages of 18 and 35 years“, to team with “Buddies” for a week of adventure as they mix and inter-act in a fun atmosphere to share new friendships and experiences. It 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 and caters for people with disabilities.

Onsite activities include Archery, Abseiling, Flying Fox with trips to the Zoo, Adventure World, Ten Pin Bowling and fun on the river for biscuit and boat rides. Participants will also enjoy a Disco, Karaoke, lots of swimming in the pool, games and laughter.

To source “Campers” ask your Rotary Club members, friends, neighbours, colleagues, employees, Disability Services, other disability organisations such as Good Samaritans, Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Headwest, Autism Association of WA and Superfins Swim School.
