Explorers
For young people growing their comfort zone…
Our Explorers program will encourage your child to participate in a range of activities that grow their comfort zones (socially, mentally and/or physically) and celebrate personal achievements. The activities, suggested by past-Explorers and chosen by our Team, offer a range of opportunities to explore new skills, practice self-agency and grow self-esteem within an environment that promotes positive social interactions and celebration of shared success.
Our upcoming group in July 2025 has been designed as a series of different activities spread across the school holidays - how many events you attend is up to you!
You may opt to attend 1 event to give your child an opportunity to explore a new skill or you may wish to sign up for all the events for added intensity!
