Yes! Young people deserve the growth, friendship and support, experiences like Camp Freedom bring.

Held over six days, Camp Freedom is the only chance young people, aged from 7 to 17, get to spend time with other kids living with conditions just like theirs.

For some, our onsite team of physios and registered nurses means it’s the first time they’ve ever had the medical support to sleep away from home.

For others, it’s a place where they can push themselves beyond what they thought possible. To discover that despite their physical limitations, they can still achieve their dreams – no matter how big!

It’s a place where young people can safely discuss medication side-effects, pain management and mental health with experienced professionals and each other.

And for teens, it’s a place to explore important topics such as alcohol and drugs, relationships and even career inspiration – real life stuff.

Most of all, it’s a place for old friends and new friends who truly understand each other to connect - because they know what it’s like to live in chronic pain every day too.

“We started up a group chat. It’s great because when you have a problem you can just ask everyone and they’ll tell you their experience. If you have an idea and they’ve already tried it, they’ll be like ‘no don’t do that!’. You get different ideas than you would from your Rheumatologist, because we’re the ones living it. Right now, all we’re talking about is Camp Freedom!” Jessica
