Handicamp: A week full of fun and challenges, and a lifetime of experiences.

 

Handicamp provides an opportunity for young people with a disability between the ages of 18-35, to attend a one-week live-in camp assisted by staff and buddies. Applications open on 1 October for the camp which is held in mid-January of the following year for both campers and buddies.

 

What is Handicamp?
Handicamp is a week long live in camp for 18 to 35 year old people with disability, who are teamed with a "buddy" for a week of fun and adventure. The camp is based on double participation and reward, supervised by a volunteer Rotary committee and nursing support.
 
Interested Young people who live, go to school or work in the City of Melville are invited to contact the Club’s Youth Director.
 
The Rotary Club of Applecross has sponsored the following:
