During the school holidays in September, Apunipima hosted a youth camp for the community of Hope Vale.

Twenty-five teenagers between the ages of twelve and seventeen, participated in the five day youth camp.

Like all camps, the kids left with excitement with anticipation for what the week would hold. Apunipima Social Emotional Wellbeing team put together activities at the camp that included cooking up a kup murri, collecting freshwater mussels, singalongs, and motivational games and activities.

Across the week several other agencies and services participated in the camp and took the opportunity to promote the services they provide and how they can further support the young people.

The aim of the camp was to help build relationships and trust with the group and let them know why and how Apunipima can support them.
