Puddle Jumpers is a non profit, non-government
organisation committed to responding to the
social development needs of society's most
vulnerable children and young people.
We believe all kids matter, and deserve the right
to engage in happy and fun experiences in their
life.
We aim to build resilience in kids to enable them
to believe in themselves, to believe that anything
is possible and help them ‘jump over puddles’
that they have in their own lives.
We aim to share the happiness and adventure of
being children and young people, and simply
encourage kids to be kids, to ‘jump in all the
puddles’
Puddle Jumpers camps & activities are about
providing children with opportunities to reach their full potential.
We do this by providing an environment that is
inclusive and encourages participation, friendship and trust
The fostering of relationships is encouraged
through our high ratio’s of mentoring and care during the young person’s time on camp.
Children and Young People aged 5 to 15 years &
Families aged birth to adult years access our
services…
Children are referred to us from
Agencies, Organisations, Hospitals, Schools
(both public & private) as well as from families
themselves.
Most children that come to us have a lot going on
in their lives… financial disadvantage, mental
health, abuse, neglect, poor social skills, low self
esteem and more…
Above all most of the children and young people
that we provide our services to need to spend
some time with some positive role models.
