Young people are growing up under immense pressure

As parents, weโ€™re watching our children growing up in a world that’s vastly different from the one we grew up in. From increasing academic pressures and social media influences to mental health issues and risky behaviours, our children are facing challenges on multiple fronts.
The last thing you want as a parent is to see them struggle during their transition into adulthood. It’s overwhelming, and sometimes, we may feel helpless, watching them go down an unhealthy path without knowing how to provide the best support.

Youโ€™re not alone

Youโ€™re not alone; Many parents are feeling out of their depths

Parenting today isn’t about merely teaching; it’s about doing, guiding, and constantly adapting to new challenges. With the rise of technology, constant connectivity, and evolving societal norms, we find ourselves more involved and protective, often at the cost of allowing our children to experience risk and build resilience. We need to find the balance between being supportive and giving them space to grow. AdventureWorks WA is to help with empowering social-emotional training for parents, Parent Retreats, and exciting parent-child camping experiences across Australia.

"As discussed earlier in the year, my son was hesitant and reluctant to attend. However, the camp itself provided my ... son with an opportunity to learn and grow, open his mind to a different way of thinking and try an activity that he was a little hesitant to initially try (high ropes). He said that his facilitator was encouraging and inspiring."

She also said that she thought this camp has โ€œmade her a better personโ€ and as a parent, I can not ask more than that - so hats off to you and the organizers of the camp and in particular to your facilitators, who she can not speak highly enough about."
