Land Leaders (Yr10+)
$350.00
Land Leaders is a leadership development camp for young people in Year 10+ on the Far South Coast of NSW. Young people develop their hiking, camping and emergency response skills on this adventure to qualify to join The Crossing Stage 3 Team. Land Leaders also learn about the natural environment, how to assess bushfire risk, and make a landscape more fire retardant. The intake for this program is limited to a maximum of 12 people annually.
If you are an early tertiary aged student (18-19) you may also attend the program provided you obtain a volunteer working with children check through Service NSW (please advise us of your WWCC number at enrolment).
Stage 3 team members may go on to participate in The Crossing’s annual 5 day Wilderness Journey and in other volunteer assistant leadership opportunities at The Crossing after they have graduated from the Land Leaders weekend.
Land Leaders begins 5pm Friday and ends 1pm Sunday at the Bermagui Bridge Boat Ramp.
Since July 2020 The Crossing worked with support from the Bermagui RFS and SES to facilitate fire road group discussions. Many experiences were shared at these gatherings and many fire preparedness actions and design ideas have come from the local people who attended. This training weekend builds on those learnings as well as information on the creation of fire retardant landscapes and emergency response in remote settings.
Scholarship support for pilot development of this camp was provided by the Bega Valley Shire Community Fund and a second pilot was run with support of the Cobargo Community Bushfire Relief Fund.
