June 2007 Raw Energy Update Greetings from the Raw Energy Team, 2007 Continues to be an exciting and rewarding year. One of the recent highlights was the Raw Energy Camp at Glenhaven Park in April. This was a fantastic time of laughter, activities and way too many board games. We took 19 Young Carers on camp and got up to a whole heap of mischief J Some examples are: X Factor Night, Super Hero Dress Up Night, Go-Carting and lots of fun in the Pool. Glenhaven Park is home to a mighty high ropes course and it was great to see the young people getting into it. The course was made up of a whole heap of steel wire ten metres off the ground.J There were even a few leaders that got into the action including Ryan displaying his skills on the trapeze and Lainie taking the big swing! The same can’t be said for Jeremy who fell off the first high ropes course J It was fantastic to see people challenging themselves and giving it a go. Well done to everyone. There are some exciting things on the horizon for this year including a July training retreat that will focus on mental health, a raw energy extreme makeover night and a big family day (to be revealed). All of our regular activities are still happening for groups and we are receiving lots of new referrals. The RawLink One-to-One program is also operating in full swing at the moment which allows 20 young carers to have regular contact with positive adult mentors. We have found this to be a very positive thing for the young people involved and it has been great to see them increase in confidence as a result. All up things are going great and we are always keen to hear from new people. If you, or someone you know if a young carer, don’t hesitate to contact us on 8277 0333 or rawenergy@carersupport.org.au Best wishes, The Raw Energy Team
