The Operation Flinders Foundation provides wilderness adventure group therapy programs for young people. Participants partake in an 8-day program in the northern Flinders Ranges, in South Australia. By placing participants in a remote outdoor environment where self-discipline, teamwork, co-operation, leadership and trust are intrinsic to survival, young people have a huge leap in development. For 8 days participants are placed in an environment that provides only for basic needs of life. They face challenges as individuals and as part of the team. The project offers demanding outdoor challenges and ongoing support to help participants develop their personal attitudes and values of self-esteem, motivation, teamwork, goal setting and community responsibility so they can get back on track.
