Tackling mental health challenges together
Navigating modern adolescence poses unique challenges. The wave of mental health challenges for young people is very evident in public discourse already. Social media and gaming have completely altered how children interact with their peers and the world around them.
As prevalent as these challenges are, so too is the rise of wellbeing research and intervention strategies for young people.
So, what to do?
- Keep young people connected to nature and the outdoors
- Leverage research and available resources
- Be proactive and intentional about empowering them to maintain their wellbeing
Give your students a positive start
JDP provides the setting and opportunities for students to create formative camp memories. From friendships to team-building, and a fundamental appreciation for nature.
Through years of refinement in our hard-top camps and Kinglake Forest Adventures Camp programs, we’ve developed the right balance of fun and structured learning.
