Who We Are

Edmund Rice Camps is a not for profit charitable organisation that works according to the vision of Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brother, supporting children, young people and families who are disadvantaged.

Edmund Rice Camps commenced in South Australia in 1989; each year the number of volunteers and participants continues to grow.

What We Do

• Edmund Rice Camps provides holidays, recreational activities & on-going support for children, young people (8- 16 years) and families who are disadvantaged
• The camps and activities are aimed at developing self-esteem & confidence, cooperation and team building skills, in an environment where equality, respect & friendship are of high importance
• Participants and Leaders have a one to one ratio.
• Leaders attend trainings in various areas such as mandated notification, food handling, conflict resolution, behaviour management
• Edmund Rice Camps supports the community development model, in that participants are given opportunities to develop their own leadership skills and when appropriate to explore the possibilities of becoming leaders themselves on camps
• Family camps aim to strengthen family relationships, provide opportunities for networking, as well as enabling families to experience a holiday together, an opportunity that may otherwise not be available to them.
• Participants are referred to us through agencies such as FAYS, Centacare, Anglicare SA, The Smith Family & schools
