The Schedule:

FRIDAY: Welcome to the weekend!

We’ll pick you up from home or your day program and head off together to kick-start the weekend! Once settled, participants will be encouraged to work together to prepare a healthy, shared dinner – promoting independent living skills and teamwork. After dinner, we’ll enjoy a relaxing sunset walk, encouraging physical wellbeing and connection with nature. The evening wraps up with social games and activities, where you can enjoy peer interactions and share a laugh. Bring your favourites – or learn a new one!

SATURDAY: Explore, Laugh, Discover

We’ll start the day with a hearty group breakfast and a few light household tasks – a great way to build confidence at home. Then, you’ll have the choice to: Visit Camel Cuddles Farm at Bells Creek – meet gentle camels and learn how they produce organic camel milk OR discover the underwater world at Sea Life Aquarium – from sharks to stingrays, there’s so much to see and learn! We’ll wrap up the day with a relaxed dinner at the local Surf Club – the perfect chance to connect with the community and enjoy a friendly meal out.

SUNDAY: Sunshine and Goodbyes

We’ll begin the day with a light shared breakfast, followed by your choice of: Explore Caloundra Street Fair – a vibrant local event that supports community participation and personal choice. Great for goal-focused experiences like budgeting, choosing treats, or finding handmade goods OR a Leisurely Beach Walk – a calm and mindful activity that encourages wellbeing, reflection, and connection. Soak in the ocean breeze and enjoy the sand between your toes! We’ll aim to have you home between 2pm-3pm (traffic dependant) – carrying new memories, new skills, and new friendships as part of your journey toward greater independence and achieving your NDIS goals.
