Autism Camp Australia Sunshine Coast, QLD

The Autism Camp Sunshine Coast program runs over 4 days and 5 nights. It is a beach-side location. The program taps into existing regional group recreation/camp facilities with safety, privacy, autonomy and low sensory input as priorities. In the Sunshine Coast we partner with QLD Recreation, Sports and Arts facilities in Currumundi whose facilities include: 12 air conditioned rooms (some single room, some adjoining twin depending on size of family) with ensuite, in their own private precinct, a brand new purpose-built self-catering communal kitchen; and access to a range of onsite outdoor and adventure activities and facilities. We add to these recreation facilities: an Autism Camp Australia (ACA) proprioceptive sensory space and an ACA workshop space. All activities, apart from Body Boarding, take place at the Autism Camp Sunshine Coast location in Currumundi. The site has direct gated access to Currimundi’s beautiful beach and lake.

Everything you need to know

Offering the best of the Sunshine Coast without the crowds, Autism Camp Sunshine Coast is a stone’s throw from Caloundra in the coastal village of Currumundi. The naturally stylishNoosa, and the awe-inspiringGlass House Mountains are just a short drive away. With glorious sunny days and warm water most of the year, it’s an ideal place forour camps. 🙂

Less than 90 minutes’ drive from Brisbane City and the Brisbane Domestic and International Airports and approximately 20 minutes’ drive from the Sunshine Coast Airport, Autism Camp Sunshine Coast takes place at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Centre. Located between Currimundi Beach and the mouth of Currimundi Lake just north of Caloundra, the recently redeveloped centre hosts a range of versatile facilities to meet the needs of our families.

Currimundi was named using the local aboriginal name for the area, Garrimundi or Girrimundi, meaning “place of flying foxes”. Doubly blessed with a natural lake connected to a long and unspoilt stretch of beautiful surf beach, it is an awesome spot for our camps.

Currimundi lake and beachfront have extensive parks and walkways for the public to enjoy before or after a swim in the surf or the calm waters of the lake. The lake is perfect for canoeing and paddle boarding. Enjoy picnicking, birdwatching and studying nature, taking long bushwalks and admiring the views from the lookout.
