AMP CAMP

AMP CAMP IS Australia’s only camp for Australian youth living with limb loss and limb difference.    

It’s a unique opportunity that brings teens 12-17 years from across Australia together for a four-day program that focuses on building confidence, developing independence, and expanding a network and connection in a supportive atmosphere of fun and friendship.    

AMP CAMP provides recognition to participants, motivation towards acceptance and capacity opportunity to explore new pathways to be self-assured, empowered members of the community.

Yes, a valid WWCC from your home State or territory is mandatory at the time of application and must remain current for the duration of the event.

Each year, the leadership team at camp is led by the AMP CAMP Executives and a team of dedicated individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Most leaders are Peer Leaders who can demonstrate lived experience. Other leaders include Allied health such as Exercise Physiologists, Physiotherapists, Prosthetists, and members of the Community who have volunteer experience.    

All leaders must be 18 years of age or above, be a financial member of Amputees NSW, be willing to attend AMP CAMP in its entirety and hold a valid WWCC. Parents of campers should not apply to be leaders at AMP CAMP.
