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 success!
Each activity is chosen with input from past Explorers and guided by our clinical team, creating meaningful opportunities to try new skills, strengthen self-agency, and build self-esteem while enjoying positive social connections and shared achievements.
Our upcoming group in July 2026 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!
