School Holiday Program

Camps and day activities operate during school holiday periods. As well as the regular holiday program, IOE also offers some specialised camps and activities to children with specific needs.

All programs are coordinated and run by Interchange staff with volunteers assisting children to participate in activities and with personal care on a ratio of 1:1.  The range and type of activities offered and the enthusiasm and positive attitude of our volunteers ensure the children and volunteers have maximum enjoyment from the program.

Transport is provided by Interchange Outer East with all activities departing from and returning to the Interchange office.

Application for places is via the form published in our newsletter. Owing to the large number of children applying for camps and activities we are unable to offer places to siblings.


SCHOOL HOLIDAY CAMPS

Camps are generally between 3 and 5 days duration and on average 14 participants, 14 volunteers and 3 staff attend each camp.
We stay at accredited campsites throughout Victoria and accommodation is in cabins or dormitory style.

Lots of activities, both on and off site, the enthusiasm, and friendship of the volunteers, guarantee a full program of fun and memorable camp experiences for everyone.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES

The day activities are fun and community based. Trips to the zoo, theme parks, farm visits, parks, wave pools etc guarantee a fun and exciting day out for both children and volunteers.
