With our vision of "Best PeopleBest Camps" InterConnection promotes our core values of: Acceptance Respect Enthusiasm Support Cooperation Friendship In doing, we seek to promote tolerance, teamwork, understanding and a sense of community amongst young people. At the conclusion of our camps we aim to ensure that each participant has been able to: Build on their knowledge and skills Begin to develop a sense of passion and commitment to achieving their goals Realise how important it is to be an active and positive member of the wider community. Our clients are aged between 12-16 years old and come from a wide and diverse range of back grounds. Each participant in an ICA camp program commits to: Embracing the intellectual and physical challenges offered by the program Being exposed to new experiences and adventures Sharing their ideas Listening and developing an appreciation for others Expanding their network of friends The ICA Camp Programs are held over a four-day period at different Victorian locations and are staffed by a group of dedicated and skilled volunteer leaders who are committed to the values and objectives of the organisation. Our activity-based program is driven by our "Survivor Challenge" which sees our small activity groups encouraged to develop a strong sense of friendship and team work as they compete for the ultimate glory of winning the four-day long competition. Each group leader and buddy leader work tirelessly with their four clients to ensure that their group is given every opportunity to win whilst learning the importance of fair competition. Our leaders have accepted the opportunities and challenges provided by ICA and have demonstrated the necessary leadership skills to perform this demanding role, either as a Group Leader or Activity Coordinator. They understand the importance of encouragement, communication, positive thinking and the need to make good decisions which assist in building a winning team one that draws on every ones skills, backgrounds and talents.
