Camp Fearless
Drawing inspiration from the successful state-based camps in Australia our Camp Fearless brings together young people living with IBD for 3 days of activities, relationship-building, learning, and above all, fun.
The camp is designed to support teens (12 to 17 years old) to develop lasting support relationships with peers, learn self-management strategies, and provide an environment of with similar experiences and challenges. This way, they can simply be children/teen campers rather than people with IBD.
Why attend our camp?
This is a chance for you to have a great time away with other teenagers who understand exactly what you’re going through. There will be a range of fun activities and opportunities for you to just chill out. Don’t be worried that you may not know anyone, remember that everyone is in the same boat, and it’s all about having fun and getting to know each other.
