TASMANIA
Programs
Residential Camps
These are four day camps that take place during school holidays with leaders and participants staying together for the duration.
Funfests
Funfests take place during the School holidays and are 4 days long with participants and leaders heading home at the end of each day.
Eddie Days Out / H2H
Eddie Days Out are one day programs that take place usually on a weekend. Head 2 Heart programs are an overnight program also usually on a weekend.
School Programs
As an organisation we believe in holistic education that allows our young leaders to become compassionate, thoughtful dedicate individuals who give positive contributions to their communities. Over the past few years our programs have diversified and we've begun creating strong connections with high schools and colleges all over Tasmania. We tailor our programs for schools to fit the year level and school need, often contributing to the curriculum needs. While we offer classroom presentations and guest speaking we also like to combine this a service component. Examples include facilitating school camps where connect students with a variety of community organisations beyond our own, reading programs connecting high schools and primary schools together and afternoon, one day and overnight buddy programs for either service or leadership programs in schools.
