By focusing on essential values and life lessons, our boot camp for troubled youth provides a platform for children to challenge themselves and achieve goals they set for themselves.

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 military summer camp that was developed by Defence Force Veterans who have a great deal of experience in military-style training and understand how it can positively impact the lives of participants.

By utilising the skills earned throughout numerous deployments, our Veteran Mentors are able to deliver valuable lessons that help participants to become productive young adults.

Following the completion of our boot camp for kids in Sydney, participants will be disciplined and ready to achieve more than they could have ever imagined. They will learn relationship-building skills, academic skills and sporting skills that will ultimately instil confidence and resilience to take on the world with a whole new attitude.

Activities

Some of the activities involved in our disciplinary boot camps 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 behavioural summer camps in Sydney 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.
