Benefits of camp life

Benefits of camp life

Calming Waves Support Services is responsive to each participant and family’s needs. Instead of simply compensating for disability, we aim to promote independence and maximize community participation by providing culturally appropriate and flexible services reflecting the participant and their family’s preferences. CWSS can manage those services for you. Our services cover a broad range of activities and aspects of life, from household tasks and general care to behavior support and the development of life skills. Whatever your needs you can count on CWSS to be there to support you. Talk to our NDIS team today and discuss the services you need.

Increased Independence

For individuals with disabilities, veterans, or mental health issues, our customised camps provide opportunities to practise skills that can help you become more independent. This independence can help you become more confident and self-sufficient in everyday life.

Increased Social Interaction

Our customised camps provide an opportunity for individuals to interact with others who have similar experiences and perspectives. Through these interactions, you can gain valuable insight and support from peers who understand and can relate to your unique circumstances.

At our camps, you can meet and socialise with people who share similar struggles and challenges. This can help create a sense of community and belonging, and provide an invaluable source of support.

Improved Wellbeing

Our customised camps are specifically designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can focus on improving your mental and physical health. Through a variety of activities and services, our camps can help you relax and enjoy a much-needed break from the everyday stresses of life.

The activities available at our camps are tailored to your individual needs and interests. We offer a range of activities such as yoga and meditation, art therapy, nature walks, and much more. All of these activities are designed to help you relax and gain a greater sense of wellbeing.

Support the work of CWSS Camps in providing outdoor experiences for people with disabilities.

All donations go to equipment or providing places for campers who can't afford the fees.

We would like to commend Calming Waves for their care and commitment. We had tried other care services before we found CW, and found that the service from Calming Waves was exceptional, and the commitment was even better. The patient had specialized care needs with MND and Calming Waves staff managed it very well. The staff scheduling is a continuous challenge but we knew ahead and experienced that there would always be a solution and the care was always very well supported - top quality carers every time and always there. At all times the compassion, the support and the attendance was exemplary. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Calming Waves to whoever needs personal care.
