Give your teen one school term "Time Out" on TS Cocoon.
"Time out" on river cruise school camp with our teachers helps unhappy teens rethink their future.
"School Camp" is an approved form of "Time Out" known to help kids at risk. Most kids see the school camp as the best part of school. They just hang in there to go to camp.
MOST SCHOOL CAMPS STOP AT YEAR 10. This is a fault of the school system. With nothing to look forward to, teen school miseries compound with no relief. The bad habbit of constant use of mobile phones makes the isolation worse. Group rejection. Depression grows. Grumpy at home, then home problems make it all worse. Suicide?
We "Cocoon" them for ten weeks in "Time Out" adventure cruise, remote from their normal life helps them reset for a happier future.
- Our river school camp ship has 16 teen berths with two teachers, full time Murray cruising, with a planned program to reset their thinking and help them change towards a positive path forward. (Think computer reboot to clear problems)
- Your child will remain enrolled with their current school and subjects.
- Our skilled "school cruise camp" teachers will cooperate with the student's home school to maintain their existing basic SACE subjects.
- AND include our river Environmental adventure challenge studies from within the SACE together with maintenance of a personal journal during the strictly scheduled cruise term. Relevant events are reported back to the students home school and parents.
- Our teacher/student confidentiality is critical and will be maintained on student request. Sometimes teens chat with teachers about private stuff. We respect confidentiality.
- Students will do supervised kayaking with partners for exercise, reflection and chat time.
