Since 1936, Uni Camp For Kids has provided a dependable annual calendar of positive experiences for the most socially, emotionally, and/or financially disadvantaged children of Perth. Our mission is to impact the long-term mindset of seriously at-risk children by offering two key elements for a healthy childhood: rewarding childhood experiences, and exposure to positive personal relationships, role models and social interactions.
What we do:
With support from our generous network of donors, we work to improve the overall wellbeing of these at-risk children. We provide 2 to 3 annual week-long Summer camps and 4 day-long picnics during the year for over 1,000 children. We cater for children aged 5-12 and form familial-like relationships with each child throughout their primary school years. This fosters a warm, familiar environment that children in out-of-home care are often deprived of. Our Picnics and Camps serve as much-needed distractions from their difficult circumstances and provide respite to families and carers.
