Day by Day

The Connections 2023 program includes formal and informal activities that aim to connect and strengthen our community. The program fee includes full access to participation, sharing, learning and training through a range of activities and opportunities to strengthen peer support, social skills, self-advocacy, life skills, connections, mentoring, games and social & community participation.

Residential check in begins at 2pm on Friday November 24 and checkout at 10am on Monday November 27. We encourage people to arrive on Friday and stay at the venue until Monday wherever possible. This will allow plenty of time to access the full timetable and to have that precious time to engage with others who share your lived experience. AusDoCC has subsidised some costs to make this option more accessible.

Day attendees will check in on the first day of attendance.

Meals will be eaten in the main dining hall.

There will be four programs: 
1. Kids’ Camp (3-12) 
2. Teens’ Camp (13-17) 
3. Adults with CCD 18+ 
4. Parents, family, professionals and friends.

(Children and teens cannot be registered without an accompanying adult in the party)
