School Holidays, Reimagined

Mentor-led adventures across the Adelaide Hills and beyond — open to NDIS participants, homeschoolers, and every young person in our community.

(Conditions apply)

These school holidays, we’re opening our doors a little wider. At Life is for Living Mentoring, every program day is built around one simple belief — that every young person deserves a trusted adult by their side, a community to belong to, and a life worth getting excited about.

Our days run 10:00am – 4:00pm and are designed to grow confidence, friendships, social skills, and a real sense of belonging. Whether your young person is an NDIS participant, learning from home, or simply ready for something more meaningful than another holiday at home — there’s a place for them here.

Every day includes: a dedicated 1:1 mentor, all activity costs, lunch, and door-to-door transport if needed. No hidden extras. Just one inclusive hourly rate.

Why families choose Life is for Living Mentoring

We work from a simple principle:

Identify the need. Meet the need.

Every young person who walks through our doors is met as a whole human being — capable,
sovereign, and deserving of a life they actively choose. We don’t deliver a one-size program.
We listen, we notice, and we build support around each individual.

That might mean one mentor, or a carefully chosen team of mentors with different strengths gathered around a single client. It might mean strong community connections for one young person, and quieter 1:1 days for another. Whatever growth looks like for your family, we shape the support to match.

We are heart-centred, deeply professional, and proudly known across the industry for the calibre of mentors we attract and the quality of relationships we build.

This is more than a holiday program. It’s a doorway into a way of being supported —
confidently, lovingly, and on your own terms.

TERM 2 – WEEK 1 – 2026

Monday 6th July

Monarto Safari Park

Step into one of Australia’s largest open-range zoos and come face-to-face with giraffes, lions, rhinos and meerkats. With your mentor by your side, today is about wonder, conversation, and the kind of memories that stay with you. A day to stretch out, breathe deeply, and connect — with nature, with animals, and with each other.

Tuesday 7th July

Bowling & Mini Golf

There’s something about rolling a strike or sinking a tricky putt that brings people together. Today is about more than the games — it’s about turn-taking, cheering each other on, navigating a busy public venue with confidence, and discovering what you’re capable of when someone believes in you. Expect plenty of laughter and a few friendly rivalries.
