REEF camps promote “Respect, Education, Environment and Friendship” and are designed to help participants develop self-esteem, leadership skills and confidence, particularly during the transitional years from primary to secondary school. Young people participate in nine camps over two years. The camps have become an important, positive part of many young people’s formative years. www.cottagebythesea.com.au DISABILITY SPORT & RECREATION Future Leaders Camp Disability Sport and Recreation conducted a three-day leadership camp for 12 young people with disabilities. The camp encouraged the participation of 15-18 year-olds in sport and recreation. As well as increased physical activity, the young people were supported to encourage other young people with disabilities to participate in sport and recreation. A 12-month mentoring program for the participants provides ongoing support. Feedback from young people attending the camp will inform any future Disability Sport and Recreation Youth Engagement Strategy. www.dsr.org.au Community Living & Respite Services Cottage by the Sea
