The boot camp for kids in Adelaide focuses on providing a platform for children to learn essential values and experience valuable life lessons. This is done through engaging in exciting outdoor activities that incorporate lessons based on courage, resilience, initiative and teamwork.

The Junior Leader Program is a disciplinary boot camp developed by ex-servicemen and women from the Australian Defence Force. Each mentor has a great deal of experience in military-style training and understands how it can effectively impact participants and transform their lives for the better. 

Following the completion of our boot camp for troubled youth, participants will have learnt valuable lessons that will help them to achieve more than they could have ever imagined. They will learn relationship-building skills, academic skills and sporting skills that will instil the confidence and resilience required to become productive young adults.

Activities

Some of the activities involved in our child mentoring programs include physical and nutritional education, making beds, polishing boots, ironing uniforms, cleaning their barracks, and military marching. By completing routine tasks and placing value on them, participants begin to take pride in their workmanship and are able to continue this mindset at home and in life. 

As well as participating in these routine activities, our Junior Leaders have a ball getting active with the chance to go rock climbing and abseiling, as well as having a go at a high ropes course, an Army-style obstacle course, survival training and skydiving.

Location & Accomodation

Our troubled teen programs are run at purpose-built, school camp facilities. The advantage of choosing these sites for our camp is the natural surroundings, isolation from distractions and vicinity to natural waterfalls and bushlands. At the camp, participants are provided with bunk bed accommodation and access to amenities, as well as regular meals prepared with nutrition in mind.
