Camp Compassion

Camp Compassion

‘Camp Compassion is run annually for a group of Year 5 and 6 children. It is a camp like no other and certainly not for the faint-hearted.  Just ask any of those who have attended!’

‘Camp Compassion is neither easy nor fair. 

Our children are challenged to live life, if only just for one night, in the same way that children do in countries less privileged than our own. They step into the worlds of children who have to earn money at a young age to support families, they have to take on roles that adults would usually hold, they have to prepare their own food from scratch, and many other tasks.  They learn to work in situations of adversity and their own values are challenged. 

Happily, most of our children step up, look after each other and reflect well on their learning from their time. They all come away with an increased appreciation for their lives in our middle-class Australia!’

– Terri Talbot, Camp Coordinator
