Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like roller coasters! Luckily, we have some of the best theme parks and rides right on our doorstep, with the Gold Coast only being a short trip from where we are located on the Sunshine Coast!
When this mum and dad needed some much-needed down time (actually, this was the first time that all three of their young people had been away from home all at once!), three nights on the Gold Coast sounded like just what the dr ordered!
With another young person joining us, this quartet was set for a heart pumping few days exploring Movie World and Wet n Wild on the Gold Coast. Small group respite and theme parks can be a challenge for some young people, as everyone is at different confidence and capacity levels, however our group navigated these challenges like super stars!
Our young people challenged and pushed themselves to new levels of confidence, working their way up to thrilling rides like the Green Lantern, where you are even flipped upside down! It’s such a reward to see our young people walk out of the park with their heads held high, proud of what they have achieved and the experience that they have had.
Next we spent the day at Wet n’ Wild, where we conquered all the slides that were open, making memories and building capacity in many areas, including interpersonal peer relationships.
Mum and dad told us that they had such a wonderful few days of recharge, and our young people returned home with massive smiles on their faces!
