Fun and Friendship: Inside What Ability Camps

At What Ability, we specialise in 1:1 community access and 1:1 STA (Camp), what we call overnight camps. In fact, throughout 2023 we hosted a total of 99 camps across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. These ran across the whole year and featured some epic cooking classes, DJ discos and jetski days during the warmer months.

Our What Ability camps provide participants with 1:1 support in a relaxed, group environment for a stay between 2 days and 1 night, up to 7 days and 6 nights away from home.

Our camps provide a fun and safe environment that promotes: 

  • Social interaction
  • Skill development
  • Community engagement

So what does a What Ability camp look like and what are the benefits for you? 

Participate in Fun Activities

When we say ‘camps,’ we’re not talking about tents in the wilderness—we’re talking about cosy Airbnbs across the country that serve as the perfect backdrop for our overnight adventures.

These Airbnbs may have heated pools, firepits, miniature ponies, trampolines, spacious kitchens, giant swings, BBQ’s and so much more!

Camps are filled with fun activities like jet-skiing, beach days, bushwalks, caring for and feeding animals, water slides, cooking meals and baking, campfires and roasting marshmallows, family style dinners and movie nights.

Each camp is tailored to the season, ensuring that activities are not only enjoyable but also safe and suited to the weather. Whether it’s summer jetski days, day trips to the local theme park or cosy winter campfires, there’s always something for everyone and all activities are included in your STA fee. If you’re interested in joining one of our camps, please contact our Camps Team for a quote.

Forming New Friendships

At camp, our participants are able to build meaningful friendships and develop independence through fun-filled social opportunities.

“There is one particular participant that Emily and he go to camp at the same time because she absolutely loves spending time with him, and for her that’s one of her most cherished friendships.” – Emily’s Mum

Whether it’s teaming up for a group activity, sharing stories around the campfire, or working together to prepare or clean up for lunch, these moments help participants connect with others, boost their confidence, and create lasting memories. The supportive environment encourages each participant to step out of their comfort zone, try new things, and discover their own strengths—all while having a blast with new friends!

 

Develop Life Skills

Camps give participants a safe place, where they can relax, be themselves and grow as individuals. Time away from home is such an integral part of growing up, not just for the participant but also for their families. This time away allows participants to really thrive in a new environment and build on the skills they are looking to develop.

Activities that help facilitate this can be anything from; grocery shopping, cooking meals for the group, household tasks and self care. By developing these skills in a new environment, we’ve had feedback that our participants have grown their confidence and then apply it to their everyday living.

Respite and Renewal

When our participants go away to an overnight camp, it gives their parents or caregivers a much-needed chance to rest and recharge. This break provides time to focus on personal needs, spend time with other family members, or simply relax, knowing their loved one is in a safe and supportive environment.

“Another amazing camp during the most perfect time. I was able to finish my Christmas shopping and spend some 1:1 time with the other kids who don’t normally get much time with me. I am just in so much awe of all of these amazing beautiful people. The love and support shown to my Hayden from all just makes me so happy that he has people like them in his life.” – Hayden’s Mum

It’s not just a time of respite; it is an opportunity for parents to gradually give their child independence, allowing them to explore new experiences, develop confidence and build new skills in a supportive environment.

Our What Ability Day at AAMI Park was a huge success, bringing in over 50 athletes and 200 participants for a day of inflatable dartboard-throwing, soda-drinking, football-kicking fun. And media outlets were all over it!

The Today Show – Weekend

The Weekend Today with hosts Clint Stanaway and Belinda Russell was one of these major programs. The hosts spoke to our What Ability athletes, Collingwood defender’s Brayden Maynard and Collingwood Super Netball’s Kelsey Browne. They wanted to know what the day involved, and it was here that our athletes revealed just how excited they were!

“It’s a really exciting day for What Ability. We can’t wait to have lots of fun! That’s the main purpose of today,” Browne said.

“I just feel like the main thing is bringing a smile to everyone’s faces. It’s a day where they can come out, they can have fun, everyone can enjoy themselves personally,” Maynard added.

Epic What Ability Day at AAMI Park yields impressive turn out of athletes and families!

Our first What Ability Day of 2023 happened at AAMI Park and what a day it was!

The day brought the Melbourne community together for a day filled with athletes, activities, fun, smiles and of course, happiness. 

What Ability has been active in Melbourne since October 2022, and this was a great chance to see how much we have grown since then.

Over 200 participants and 50 athletes, including Collingwood Magpies’ Kelsey Browne, Collingwood FC’s Brayden Maynard and Essendon FC’s Maddy Prespakis, came down for the day.

Participants had the best time kicking the ball around, throwing the frisbee, kicking at the dartboard and relaxing on the field alongside athletes from the top sporting codes.

Belinda Woolford, What Ability CEO said “Days like this reminds me why putting happiness first for people living with a disability is so important!”

“Seeing everyone having fun and enjoying themselves was such a joy, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our Major Partners, volunteers and our What Ability athletes.”

“Your commitment to inclusion and support for those with disabilities is truly inspiring, and we hope to continue to work together to make our community a more inclusive place.”

The event was even featured by the Weekend Today with Clint Stanaway and Belinda Russell and we are very thankful to be able to share our work in helping to build a more inclusive Australia.

Thank you to everyone involved in the day, including AAMI Park, our athletes, volunteers and support workers. A huge shout out to our Major Partners AAMI, Harvey Norman, Optus, Shaw and Partners & Tyrepower for helping us create an unforgettable day for people living with a disability! 

Also big thanks to Soda Stream, My Muscle Chef, O’Briens and Imperial First Aid for keeping us refreshed and safe on the day!
