Congratulations to Southern Cross Kids’ Camp on receiving the January Noel Jones CSP grant. Southern Cross Kids’ Camp is an Australian Registered Charity that aims to interrupt the cycle of abuse and neglect in primary aged children by providing an outstanding five day camping program. Many of the kids who attend the camp are in the foster care system and have been subjected to various forms of significant trauma. However, with over 700 dedicated volunteers, kids who attend a Southern Cross Kids’ Camp experience a week filled with fun and laughter and get to leave camp with a fresh perspective, new life skills and hope for a brighter future, providing a week of happy memories for the kids who need it most.
