is a community based organisation that serves the needs of young children (aged 7-16) and their families who are often overlooked by other services. Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA (ERCKWA) provides respite,recreational and developmental programs for children who would not otherwise have such opportunities, supporting children ‘at risk’ or experiencing some form of disadvantage. Referrals are made t
o ERCKWA by a variety of agencies that identify disadvantaged children (due to financial cultural, social, behavioural or emotional circumstances) and work with ERCKWA to provide the children and families with some respite. Given the nature of the service provided, the children that attend the program come from all areas of Perth and a wide variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. For those who cannot make it to a Perth based camp, our Eddie on the Road Programme delivers a regional service and experience for children in need. ERCKWA also promotes and encourages the development of young adult volunteer leaders. A typical 5day program sees about 25 kids living, working and playing along side about 25 volunteer leaders. The role of a leader on these camps is more than purely recreation; leaders need to serve as a friend and mentor to the young people. These programs offer the young adult volunteer leaders the experience of serving more vulnerable members of the community, as well as the opportunity to develop confidence and skills as a leader with the opportunity to grow in empathy and have a broader social understanding and awareness. ERCKWA receives NO government funding. We rely on funds raised solely through one-off grants, sponsorship and fundraising in order to run the not-for-profit camps and activities. Sponsors, supporters, friends and volunteers are kept updated through the ERCWA website, quarterly newsletter, social media websites and special events. Why sponsor Edmund Rice Camps WA?
