  The Changing Minds, Bouncing Back project is a camping experience for disadvantaged youth, between the ages of 14 and 17, who are in state care but who are too old for regular weekend or holiday camping programs.

Concurrently they will also achieve the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The project equips these young people with personal strengths & skills to overcome their challenging circumstances and reach their potential; to change their minds about life and help bounce back towards a positive outlook.
