Each camp is a four-night, five-day, immersive experience where health students and people with lived experience of mental illness engage together in recovery-oriented, therapeutic recreation activities that promote mental health, social connection, and physical activity.
Everyone participates together, giving students the best opportunity to learn and understand mental health and recovery from lived experience experts.
The program, designed by mental health and education experts Professor Lorna Moxham and Assoc. Prof. Christopher Patterson of the University of Wollongong, focuses on building connection and community, to provide opportunities for all attendees to learn from one another.
And don’t worry – we sleep in air-conditioned cabins, not tents!
