May 2024 Cultural Camp

The Able Spirits Cultural Camp in May 2024 at South West Rocks was a vibrant celebration of local culture. Participants received a warm welcome to country by local elders, featuring songs, dance, and storytelling in Thungutti language. The camp also offered fishing, swimming, skirmish, cultural walks, and more, providing a rich and immersive cultural experience.

April 2024 Cultural Camp

Able Spirits Monthly Cultural Camp for April was held in Nambucca Heads on Gumbaynggirr Country. The boys really enjoyed connecting to country fishing and doing other recreational activities.

March 2024 Cultural Camp

In March, at the Able Spirits Monthly Cultural Camp on Gumbaynggirr Country,
the boys went fishing and listened to Dreamtime stories with Uncle Terry Donovan, who welcomed them to Country. This cultural experience was significant as it allowed the boys to connect with the traditions and stories of the Gumbaynggirr nation, learning respect for the land they were visiting. The camp ended with an exciting activity of zip lining and navigating obstacle courses in the treetops, creating memories of adventure and connection to nature.

February 2024 Cultural Camp

In February, at Able Spirits Monthly Camp on Bundjalung Country, the boys received a Welcome to Country from Uncle Ken Gordon, who shared Dreamtime stories.
They also had the unique experience of watching how a kangaroo was skinned and prepared for cooking in the coals. This cultural experience was significant as it allowed the boys to learn about Aboriginal traditions firsthand. Afterward, they enjoyed a delicious feast together.
