2022 Young Endeavour Youth Scheme

 

Join a crew of young Australians and embark on a life-changing 11-day journey – learning not only how to sail a square-rigged tall ship, but how to lead, support others and work together as a team. 

 

The Young Endeavour Program is internationally recognised for the opportunities it provides young Australians. We’ve been sailing for more than thirty years and embarked more than 14,000 youth crew! 

 

The challenges you will face on board will help you learn more about yourself and give you the skills to help face challenges in everyday life.

  • - Grow your self-confidence
  • - Learn to work in a team
  • - Build the skills to be a leader
  • - Leave phones & social media behind
  • - Make new friends for life
  • - Experience an adventure at sea

So be prepared to face your fears, push yourself out of your comfort zone and discover how you rise to the challenges you face. By the end of the voyage you and your fellow youth crew will take command of the ship and put your newly developed skills to the test.

Teen Camps

Have you thought about sending your teen away on camp?

In this article, we’ve looked at the thinking behind youth camps and how they work, covered the types of camps you can choose from, talked about the costs you can expect (and how to get funding), and we’ve also covered some of the key things to look for to make sure your teen will be in good hands.

 

Here some camps with links to further information:

 

Outdoor & Adventure Camps

  • Outward Bound – hiking, kayaking, activities and more, based in Canberra, with some programs in Victoria and WA.
