"Flying Fox opened our daughter's world to one of inclusion and independence, in an environment away from the comfort of home.

“Participating in a high energy, supportive camp where everyone is different, but ultimately the same in their love for life, has brought joy, pride and much laughter to our daughter’s world. As a family, we are also ecstatic that her taste in music grows with each camp.”

FAQs

Who is eligible to come on a Flying Fox program?
Anyone and everyone! Flying Fox offers individualised processes to ensure that we can support everyone on our programs!
 
If you’re aged between 8-26 and you’re keen to join a Flying Fox program, please get in touch! If you don’t meet this age bracket, and are keen to get involved, please still get in touch. We always have opportunities that you could get involved in.
 
Flying Fox strives to facilitate experiences for people with disability that fosters their growth, confidence and independence over time and upholds principles of dignity and respect for everyone involved.
Why do I need to book in a call before signing up?

It’s really important to us that you have the best time ever! The initial call allow us to get to know you better and find the right program for you. 

Is there a limit to the amount of programs I can come on per year?
We aim to provide each participant with one camp and two weekend getaways per year. We will do our best to accomodate for everyone’s desirable programs!
I'm a bit nervous, how do I know when I'm ready to come on camp?

The truth is, you may never feel ‘ready’ because it can be a very daunting thing – at first!

However, we’re with you every step of the way and will work tirelessly to make sure you feel comfortable and confident going on your first program. 

This is part of the reason for both the home visit and Camper-Buddy catch up prior to your first camp. This will allow you to get to know some of the people who you’ll be on camp with, and hopefully make you feel more excited for camp! 

Can I bring a support worker on camp with me?

We work really hard with you and your family to ensure that we set you up with the right Buddies who will support all of your needs. 

We can also work with you, your family and your support worker to ensure we know all that we need to in order to keep you feeling safe, happy and healthy. 

How much does it cost?

We have a range of different pricing depending on the programs you’re interested in. Once you’ve sent an expression of interest, we’ll send you more information about all of our pricing in the Welcome Handbook! 

What if I don't have enough funding to be able to come on a Flying Fox program?

We would never want someone to miss out due to financial reasons. If the cost is prohibitive, please get in touch with us and we will put you in touch with our finance team who will do their best to help.
