Alkupitja Atnerre On Country Learning Camp

One component of the program is the Alkupitja Atnerre On Country Learning Camp: Alkupitja Atnerre On Country Learning camps provide a safe and supportive environment for young people, emphasising connection to land and culture. During the camp, there will be 24-hour support available to you from Aboriginal leaders and strong, cultural mentors and role-models.

Alkupitja Atnerre will provide accommodation and food for the duration of the camp. All young people will be provided a swag which will be theirs to keep after camp. Staff will pick up young people from home on Friday and drop them off after the camp on Sunday afternoon.
