What Is the 10-Week Outdoor Skills Program?
Our NDIS outdoor skills program focuses on building confidence and independence while having fun in nature. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some outdoor experience, this program suits all skill levels. Over ten weeks, you’ll develop skills ranging from archery and animal tracking to camp cooking and navigation. By the end, you’ll be well-prepared for the final challenge—a 2-night camping trip where you’ll put everything you’ve learned into practice.
As a bonus, you’ll even get to keep your swag (sleeping gear) as a souvenir of your adventure!
What Skills Will You Learn?
During the NDIS outdoor skills program, you’ll gain practical skills to help you thrive in the wild. Here’s what you can expect:
- Archery: You’ll start with the basics and gradually move to more advanced techniques. Each participant will have their own bow for the entire program, and you’ll also learn how to maintain your equipment.
- Animal Tracking and Wildlife Identification: This part of the program teaches you how to identify animal tracks and understand wildlife behaviour. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
- Camp Cooking and Fire Safety: Learn how to prepare simple, delicious meals over a campfire while understanding the importance of fire safety.
- Navigation and Map Reading: Master the art of map reading and navigation. You’ll learn to use a compass, interpret maps, and use natural landmarks to stay on track.

The Grand Finale: A 2-Night, 3-Day Camping Adventure
The highlight of the NDIS outdoor skills program is the fully supervised 2-night camping trip. This is where you’ll put all your new skills into practice. You’ll have opportunities for archery, animal tracking, campfire cooking, and navigation. Sitting around the campfire at night, you’ll reflect on everything you’ve achieved. It’s a chance to bond with your fellow participants and enjoy nature at its best.
And at the end of the trip, you get to keep your swag as a memento of your adventure!
