Summer Camp

Create memories, make friends and have a blast at MDNSW’s Summer Camp!

This five-day camp is specially designed for kids and teens aged 6–18 who use a power wheelchair. It’s a chance to get out of their comfort zone, try new things and make lifelong memories.

With age-appropriate groups and full support from our experienced carers, every camper is set up for fun and connection. Activities are tailored to suit all ages, personalities and abilities — from powerchair football and swimming to pamper sessions, laser tag and creative workshops.

Check our calendar for details on the next Summer Camp.

Client testimonials

Testimonials

“The best part of camp was having fun with friends and all the fun activities. I enjoyed the independence being away from family and making new friends.”

John
Camper

“On the first day of camp l was a bit nervous just getting to know the kids l didn’t know and the carers, but on the last day l didn’t want to go home because l had such a good time.”

Cody
Camper

“Summer Camp is so fun. Some of my favourite activities include going to the beach where we built sandcastles and played games, and building a cubby house with my friend Johnny.”

George
Camper
“The Adventure Camp experience ended up being such a positive opportunity for John to develop independence and this was something I really wanted for him. Not only did he make new friends and enjoy new experiences like playing in the sand at the beach and abseiling, but he also developed new independent skills that he is still doing at home now like brushing his teeth every day and getting himself dressed.

He’s more confident and we both understand that things won’t fall apart if I’m not around. John can’t wait to go back to Camp next year and I am so grateful to MDNSW for making this life-changing experience for him possible.”
