About Camp Breakaway Inc

Camp Breakaway organises Holiday Camps for people with disabilities, giving the client an opportunity to meet new people, encourage self reliance & independence, plus helps them become less conscious of their disability as well as allowing better understanding of their situation. Camps are staffed by volunteers, camps run for 7 day/three times a year - there is a current waiting list of 18 months - 2 years. Family respite camps are also held for families of children with high medical needs run over a long weekend twice a year. There is no barrier to the level of clients' disability providing their primary diagnosis is physical. Application forms are available through Camp Breakaway. The Breakaway Lodge caters for 20 people. Meals & entertainment are included in cost. Organisations can also arrange camps for either a catered camp where Camp Breakaway provides the facility and meals only, or arrange to have a self-catered camp where Camp Breakaway provides the facility only.
