Blue Tongue Squad
Holiday Programs

Designed for 13 - 16 year olds

These school holidays, the Blue Tongue Squad is rolling out a packed program of fun, friendship, and real-world adventure for young people aged 13–16 across Brisbane and surrounds!

This isn’t your average school holiday program. It’s a chance to get out into the community, try new things, meet new friends, and build confidence—all while having an absolute blast.

From island day trips and city treasure hunts to creative workshops, science experiences, and arcade challenges, every day is different and full of energy, laughs, and discovery.

Along the way, participants will build important life skills like catching public transport, handling money, trying new activities, and navigating the community safely and confidently—without it ever feeling like “learning.”
