Occupation: Venture Capital  Camp Sababa is one of the most special, life changing experiences.  Not only is it a week filled with fun games, activities and SO much laughter, but the friendships and memories shared with your buddies last a lifetime. And you learn so much from them!  Quoting Camp Sababa veteran and now one of my close friends Mikey Sarif, “the best things in life are free” – the Camp Sababa experience and all the friendships and memories made certainly make this a reality.  Already counting down till next camp!

Camp Sababa provides young adults with an opportunity to not only immerse themselves in a rewarding experience but also provide respite to the families of children with special needs. Whilst the 4 days spent together are short, they provide both the companion and the camper with fun experiences and perhaps more importantly, allow for a truly impactful experience. The experience of the camper is probably far more important than that of the companion yet the look of sheer joy when we went ice skating or the time we spent playing in the wave pool provided both myself and my camper with laughs and smiles that impacted us both. It is an experience that is profoundly rewarding for everyone involved and provides memories that you will find yourself smiling about at the most surprising of moments.

Walking into Camp Sababa was walking into unfamiliar territory. Not having much experience with working with children with special needs I didn’t know what I was going to be confronted with. Yet with all that aside, stepping out of that camp was something heart warming and rewarding. Having to look after a child that was almost completely non-verbal definitely had it strains, but the feeling and connection you make when making him smile and happy and just knowing he genuinely wanted to be there was something else. I can only speak highly of camp sababa – from the way it runs to the ongoing support, and I hope that all year 12 graduates will have the same experience as I did.
Greg Duke - Personal Companion Junior (Now on Commitee)2017
There are some experiences in life that are so profound that one can neither articulate nor quantify the precise impact it had on oneself, and Camp Sababa was one of those experiences for me. Over the course of a mere few days I was privileged enough to be exposed to an entirely new realm of thought and behaviour, as, charged with the care of both my own camper and the other campers, I was forced to step into a role of complete selflessness, placing the needs of someone else above my own 24 hours a day. Whilst, needless to say this constant and vigilant care was both tiring and at times frustrating, coming from Year 12, a year where everything revolves around you and your needs, the opportunity that Camp provides to step out of that mindset of taking and into one of giving, is something not too short of extraordinary. If you ask anyone of the buddies at the end of camp to sum up their experience, they’d say it was “eye-opening” and as cliche as this sounds, it’s completely true. Camp was not only immensely fun, but for me, it allowed me to acknowledge my own naivety – that I, in fact, did not know, nor understand the complexity, depth and variety of children with disabilities.

Participating at Camp Sabbaba, being fresh out of high school, was an unbelievable experience. The trust that is handed to you from the parents is truly a privilege, and this trust allowed me to grow as an individual. The hands-on experience opened my eyes to people with disabilities, and how our kindness goes a long way and means a lot to the kids and their families. Through Camp Sababa, I have been able to form a genuine relationship with my buddy, and still, have contact with him after the camp.  I think everyone should consider volunteering for Camp Sababa because of the positive impact it leaves on the kids and yourself.

Studying: High School Education Camp Sababa has consistently been a highlight of my year. Often for volunteering jobs people will describe it as “fulfilling”. Oftentimes they’ll say this because the experience was hard or unpleasant but, in retrospect, is something they are glad to have done; kind of like a workout. Camp Sababa is not only fulfilling but it is also a genuinely enjoyable and joyful experience throughout. This is not a gruelling workout which leaves you out of breath and only “happy” at the burnt calories. This is like a game of sports in which you have fun the entire time AND feel glad and healthy afterwards. Camp Sababa has completely changed my perspective and enlightened me to the special needs community and has given me a chance to make many friends and to connect to the wider community.  The organisation is impeccable, the people are wonderful and the campers are always a blast. Camp Sababa is a place that brings all people together and I’ll be coming back every year until it literally becomes impossible.

Studied Bachelor of Commerce and Information Systems and now works in Financial Services and Consulting recently got a job working at Accenture I feel so fortunate to be a part of the Sababa family. Being able to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone has allowed me to grow – each day providing a new learning opportunity. The incredible bonds built between the campers and buddies has reminded me the importance of recognising people for who they are, rather than who they are not. With such a large support network, I was able to embrace the challenges of camp and truly have fun!
