Looking for a fun, confidence-building young adult program?
Here’s what one of our participants, Rachel, had to say after joining our recent adventure program.
“I showed up ready to dominate… and left with way more than I expected.” – Rachel
A Real Participant Story from the Riverland, South Australia
Rachel joined our Riverland SA young adult program, designed to support social connection, independence, and confidence through shared experiences and adventure-based activities.
From the very beginning, Rachel came in with energy and excitement—ready to get involved and make the most of every moment.
“I wasn’t nervous, I was just excited for all the activities.”
Water Activities That Got the Adrenaline Going
One of the standout highlights for Rachel was the water tubing experience—a core part of our adventure activities in the Riverland.
“Flying across the water, holding on and laughing the whole time—that was definitely my peak moment.”
Alongside tubing, participants also had opportunities to enjoy kayaking, swimming, and other water-based activities, making this program ideal for confident swimmers who enjoy high-energy experiences.
Building Confidence and Social Connection
Beyond the activities, Rachel shared that one of her biggest personal wins was connecting with new people.
“I can now talk to more people I’ve never met before.”
“When I was able to make someone smile—that felt like a win.”
These moments reflect the heart of the program—supporting communication skills, social confidence, and genuine connection in a safe and inclusive environment.
A Boost in Energy, Independence and Confidence
“The activities and food kept me wide awake.”
From engaging activities to shared meals, Rachel described the overall experience as energising and engaging.
More importantly, she left with something lasting—greater confidence and independence, especially when it comes to social interaction.
Supportive Facilitators Make a Difference
Rachel highlighted the impact of the team, especially one facilitator who stood out during the program.
“Murray was very inspirational.”
Having supportive facilitators helps create an environment where participants feel encouraged, comfortable, and empowered to step outside their comfort zones.
