Edmund Rice Camps SA (ERCSA) is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to respond to the needs of children and families experiencing significant and complex disadvantage, marginalisation, and social isolation in the community.

We strive to support children who have experienced trauma and adversity to thrive and belong by creating a space where they can just be kids. We provide a variety of group-based, recreational activities, including week-long and weekend camps and follow up day programs for participants who otherwise could not afford or access opportunities like this.

Due to the impact of Covid-19 we have been forced to cancel all face to face programs for the foreseeable future. Instead, as a direct response, we have changed our model and replicated our service online at our newly created Camps at Home website (campsathome.org).
