School holidays are the perfect time to step away from routine, try something new and make lasting memories. That’s exactly what the Blue Tongue Squad Holiday Program is all about.
Designed for young people aged 13–16 with disability, Blue Tongue Squad offers two exciting weeks of fully supported adventures, creative experiences and social opportunities across South East Queensland.
More than just a holiday program, it’s a chance for young people to build confidence, develop independence, form meaningful friendships and discover what they’re capable of in a fun and supportive environment.
Adventure Awaits
This June and July, participants can look forward to a diverse range of activities designed to encourage exploration, creativity and connection.
Program highlights include:
- A day trip to beautiful Coochiemudlo Island
- Geocaching adventures and city treasure hunts
- Hands-on science and sensory experiments
- Bushwalks and outdoor exploration
- Arts, crafts and creative projects
- Team challenges and group activities
- Plenty of opportunities to socialise and have fun
Every day brings something different, giving participants the chance to try new experiences, discover new interests and create unforgettable memories with their peers.
Building Confidence Through Experience
At Blue Tongue Adventure, we believe some of the most important learning happens outside the classroom.
The Blue Tongue Squad is designed to help young people build confidence by encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones in a safe and supported way. Whether it’s navigating a new environment, working as part of a team, solving challenges or simply making a new friend, every experience helps participants develop valuable life skills.
Our experienced support team creates an environment where young people feel included, encouraged and empowered to participate at their own pace.
Creating Connections and Friendships
One of the most rewarding parts of the Blue Tongue Squad is the opportunity to connect with others.
Many participants arrive excited but nervous about meeting new people. By the end of the program, they’ve often formed genuine friendships and shared experiences that continue long after the holidays are over.
Through shared adventures, collaborative activities and plenty of laughs, participants develop social skills, build self-confidence and enjoy a sense of belonging within a supportive community.
Flexible Participation
Families can choose to attend the full two-week program or select individual days that suit their interests and schedules. Whether participants join for one adventure or many, they’ll be welcomed into the Blue Tongue Squad experience.
A Pathway to the Blue Tongue Adventure Community
The Blue Tongue Squad is more than just a school holiday program, it’s often the first step into the wider Blue Tongue Adventure community.
Created specifically for young people aged 13–16 with disability, the Squad provides a supportive environment where participants can build confidence, develop independence and form friendships with like-minded peers. As participants grow older and finish school, many are well-positioned to transition into Blue Tongue Adventure’s programs for young adults aged 17–30.
By joining the Squad, young people become familiar with the Blue Tongue Adventure culture of inclusion, adventure and connection. They have the opportunity to build relationships with our team and other participants, making the transition into our young adult programs feel natural and exciting.
For families, it’s reassuring to know that the friendships, support and opportunities don’t have to end when school does. The Blue Tongue Squad offers a meaningful pathway into a thriving community where young people can continue to explore, grow and belong long after their school years are over.
