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 3 – WEEK 1 – 2026

Monday 28th September

Adelaide Zoo & Adelaide Botanic Garden

Step into a day of wonder in the heart of Adelaide. From the roar of lions to the quiet rustle of leaves in the Botanic Garden, today is about slowing down and noticing the world around us. With your mentor by your side, it’s a chance to connect with animals, nature, and each other — and to explore what curiosity feels like when you give it space to grow.

Tuesday 29th September

Mini Golf

A day of friendly challenge, laughter, and small victories. Whether it’s your first time or you’re already aiming for a hole-in-one, mini golf is about patience, encouragement, and celebrating effort as much as outcome. Expect plenty of cheers, a few unexpected wins, and moments that bring everyone together.

Wednesday 30th September

Craft Day

A calm, creative space where ideas can take shape at your own pace. Today is about expression, conversation, and the quiet satisfaction of making something with your hands. No pressure, no right or wrong — just time to create, connect, and leave with something uniquely yours.

Thursday 1st October

Game Lobby

A social and interactive day built around connection, teamwork, and fun. From group challenges to shared games, today is about learning how to play together, support each other, and navigate friendly competition. With your mentor guiding the space, it’s equal parts energy, laughter, and inclusion.

Friday 2nd October

South Australian Museum

A day of discovery in one of Adelaide’s most fascinating cultural spaces. From ancient artefacts to natural history wonders, today invites curiosity and conversation. It’s a chance to wander slowly, ask questions, and explore how the past and present connect in surprising ways.

TERM 3 – WEEK 2 – 2026

Monday 5th October

Cleland Wildlife Park

Step into a peaceful bushland setting where wildlife comes up close and curiosity leads the way. Today is about gentle connection — hand-feeding kangaroos, spotting koalas, and moving through nature at a calm, steady pace. A grounding day that encourages care, respect, and wonder for Australia’s native animals.

Tuesday 6th October

Indoor Pool Day (Mt Barker)

A relaxed and active water day focused on fun, confidence, and safety. Whether you’re swimming, floating, or simply enjoying being in the water, today is about feeling comfortable in your body and supported by your group. Expect laughter, movement, and a refreshing break from routine.

Wednesday 7th October

D&D Day (Dungeons & Dragons)

A day of imagination, storytelling, and shared adventure. Step into a world where choices matter, teamwork shapes the journey, and creativity leads the way. With your mentor as guide, D&D becomes more than a game — it’s a space to build confidence, communicate, and explore new identities safely and playfully.

Thursday 8th October

Plaster fun house

Choose your piece, pick your colours, and bring your creation to life. Today is slow, hands-on, and deeply personal — a chance to focus, relax, and enjoy the simple satisfaction of making something uniquely yours. Conversations flow naturally as creativity takes centre stage.

Friday 9th October

Indoor Laser Tag & Movie Day

A high-energy start followed by a relaxed finish. Laser tag brings teamwork, movement, and excitement — while the movie session offers calm, comfort, and shared downtime. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the holidays: connection, fun, and a shared experience to end the week.
