Goals

What are the goals of Camp With wings?

Connection and communication between teenage home educators throughout Australia primarily but not excluding international home educators.

Allowing for the development of a range of social and interpersonal skills that some home educated teenagers do not have the opportunity to access or practise due to geographical isolation or a lack of local empathic peers.

Providing a safe environment for the first steps of letting go and separating from the supportive family environment.

Encouraging and giving opportunities for the development of leadership skills by making the camp a sharing environment where the teenage campers take an active role in decision making, organization and presenting of activities.

Providing opportunities for personal growth on many levels, as described previously, but also including the development of self-awareness and self study to build or strengthen assertiveness and self-esteem.

Making new friends with other campers and staff, and encouraging the development of ongoing friendships over the years, not just for the duration of camp.

Learning new skills from both staff and each other as everyone shares some of their interests and passions in life with others in daily workshop, sporting or connecting situations.

Having lots of fun and frolics and happy times singing and dancing and playing and sharing with new friends and old.

To change the world by changing ourselves, to make it a better place for everyone.
