Recreation
Creating adventure, relaxation, fun, health and wellbeing through social and recreational activities
Yooralla can support you to participate in any recreational pursuits you enjoy.
We specialise in supporting people of all ages and disabilities and believe that anything is achievable.
If you enjoy participating in group activities, Yooralla run regular activity sessions, camps, workshops and courses, often with other community groups.
You will find some of our most popular recreational activities listed below, however if you would prefer to enjoy an activity on your own, we can assist with that too.
We are here to support you with whatever goal you want to achieve.

Adventure

Holidays
We can support your holiday plans – from a weekend away to a few months travelling. We can do everything from planning your travel, accommodation and supports, insurances and itinerary, to assisting you on the trip.
Family support
Whether it’s for parents and children to share a day activity, or for a family to take a trip away together, we can support your family to make it happen.
Children's holiday programs and camps
Yooralla’s holiday programs and camps are a great opportunity for children and young people to learn, make friends and have fun in a fully supported environment. Our camps are packed full of activities – anything from boating, abseiling or climbing, to campfire concerts and dress-up nights.
