WHAT IS AMP CAMP ?
AMP CAMP is a unique camping program for Australian Youth (12 – 18) living with limb difference.
The program brings youth from all over Australia to a camp facility on the outer edge of Sydney NSW to share in a peer experience that breaks down the isolation of their difference. The camp introduces them to a whole new and empowered world of independence through community.
Life for a teenager in our world is tough enough, but to live with a limb difference or limb loss that makes you stand out and feel as if no one understands, the impacts can be profound and devastating.
AMP CAMP is the opportunity to discover you are not alone, that others understand, to create, share and develop friendships that can last a lifetime and help inspire you to live beyond the perceptions of difference.

FUNDRAISING
Have you thought about going one step further and taking up the challenge to support an organisation or a project like AMP CAMP ?
Each year we find more and more youth living in isolation yet surrounded by people. Often this isolation is self imposed and the challenges of travel are heavily restricted by the financial health of the family. If we can remove that financial burden then we can ensure no teen misses out on camp when they need it most.
These days its hard to know where your efforts will be invested in outcomes not wages. Amputees NSW is 100% volunteer. So no funds go towards employee wages. In fact all funds raised for AMP CAMP go to AMP CAMP and its development.
If you would like to fundraise in your community for AMP CAMP and make a significant and valuable contribution in the life of youth with limb difference then please email us or call us to discover how to get started.

AMP CAMP was created by Camp Director, Russell Hodge after he went through a life changing accident and became an amputee. Through his compassion and understanding of the difficulties facing all who live with limb difference, Russell recognised the need to support youth in perhaps the most difficult time of life.
Each year Russell heads up a volunteer leadership team dedicated to making AMP CAMP. Many of those leaders today started out as campers themselves and understand only too well the challenges ahead which makes them the best possible guides for those new campers.
Russell also knew there was a need to have the best of both worlds and brought allied health professionals into the camp to provide support not only for the youth with their individuals health and wellness needs, but also recognising the youth could give back and provide those health professionals with an opportunity to discover the very real world of problems and solutions these young men and women face daily to live normal lives.
AMP CAMP is now in its 9th year heading into 2019. Since it first began AMP CAMP has grown from just a dozen campers and leaders to 75 participants and leaders. In the last 4 years camp has grown dramatically as we look to break the 100 mark. This growth and scale has helped in the rapid evolution of the camp, its structure and the quality of support it provides.
Most importantly AMP CAMP is the peer support network that youth need most. Themselves.
