1. Submit an Application
Click on this link to fill out the application form. This helps us get to know your child and see if we’re the right fit.

2. Book a Trial Session
Once your application is completed, you’ll see a Stripe link to book and pay for your trial day. This gives your child the chance to experience a session firsthand.

3. Join the Community
If your child enjoys the trial (which we’re confident they will!), you’ll be invited to join a family group chat and officially become part of the Adventure Minds crew.

4. Commit for the Term
We don’t offer casual sessions. After the trial, you can choose to commit for the full term:

• $950 upfront ($95/week), or

• $99/week on a payment plan

We don’t have a fixed location. Each week, our sessions take place in different outdoor locations across the region you’re participating in. This keeps the experience fresh and gives participants the chance to explore new environments. Occasionally, we revisit favorite spots.

The sessions are drop-off & pick-up, and a mild to moderate level of fitness is required for activities.

You will be sent the ‘Term Plan’ containing all locations at the start of each term and then reminded at the start of each week in the member's group chat, which you’ll be added to after you join.

This price includes extra activities (eg. equipment hire and third-party activities).

Before joining the program, you’ll need to try a session first to ensure your child fits the group dynamic. The trial investment is $99.

• Program Cost: $950 for the full 10-week term (prorated)

• Session Cost: $99 per session if paid weekly

• Sibling Discount: 10% off for additional siblings

• NDIS: We accept payment through the NDIS and invoice monthly (you'll need to provide us your child's details in your application form)

NOTE: While we do accept families using NDIS, the nature of our programs is to work with independent individuals.

NOTE: After an initial trial, families commit to the remainder of the term. We don’t offer casual or drop-in sessions.

We take a maximum of 16-18 children per program to maintain a strong group dynamic.

Our programs run with a facilitator-to-participant ratio of 1:8 or 1:10 depending on the activity.

Yes, it is required by law for all persons over the age of 18 to carry a blue card with them when working with children either voluntarily or paid.

Sessions start at 9:00am and finish at 2:00pm.

On some occasions times will be altered, though this will be communicated to you clearly in advance.

It’s important that you arrive early to your session so the group can begin activities on time. If you are late, the group may leave without you.

Not currently. Families are responsible for getting their children to and from the session location. We aim to keep our activities within a reasonable local range, and carpooling can be organised through our parent group chats.
