Your Camp Hero adventure awaits!

Are you already stepping up as a leader at school, or in your community? Or maybe you’re the mate people turn to when things get tough…

If so, Camp Hero is your next step to grow your leadership skills, challenge yourself and learn life-saving skills that make a difference.

At Camp Hero, you’ll:

Build real-world, life-saving skills to support yourself and your mates
Turn off your phone, get outside, and go on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure
Push your limits, discover your strengths and level up your leadership
Connect with inspiring mentors and young leaders from across WA
Make mates and memories that last long after camp

Over 5 days and 4 nights, you’ll learn how to lead with confidence – in your school, your team, your community and your own life.

Every participant also completes safeTALK, a nationally recognised suicide prevention accreditation that teaches you how to help someone who may be thinking about taking their life. These are skills you can use for the rest of your life.

Meet Aaliyah!

Camp Hero was an unimaginable experience and I would never had expected it to have such an impact on me. This week pushed me so far out of my comfort zone and I’m so grateful I did because I learnt so much about myself and my ability to do so much more.

Mentor Application

Meet Natalie!

Being a mentor at Camp Hero is so rewarding, especially if helping people and seeing them grow is something you’re interested in and passionate about. It’s so nice to see people being empowered to help themselves, and then be able to their community too.

Camp Hero LEADERSHIP frequently asked questions

Why was Camp Hero LEADERSHIP created?

Camp Hero LEADERSHIP was created because young people are most likely to turn to their friends when they’re struggling. In fact, 80% of young Australians with a probable mental illness seek support from peers rather than trusted adults or professionals. We saw a need to ensure those peers feel confident, capable and safe in responding. Camp Hero equips emerging leaders with the skills to recognise warning signs, offer safe support, and know when and how to seek help, empowering them to be the mental health ambassadors their communities need.

When is Camp Hero LEADERSHIP held?

Camp Hero is a 5 day mental health and leadership program that is held during the school holidays, multiple times each year. New camp dates and application information will be updated on this page as they are released.

Who is Camp Hero LEADERSHIP for?

Camp Hero LEADERSHIP is open to young West Australians aged 15 – 18 years old, who want to grow their leadership abilities, share a passion for mental health and have a desire to positively impact their community. Students must complete an application process to attend Camp Hero, which will be made available as camp dates are released.

How much does it cost?

Camp Hero is free for attendees. The cost is covered by zero2hero’s fundraising initiatives and student sponsorships.

What do students do on Camp Hero LEADERSHIP?

Camp Hero LEADERSHIP is a transformative experience designed to grow confident, capable young leaders.

Students step beyond their comfort zones through physical and mental challenges and immersive workshops that build resilience, grit and connection.

Out in nature, away from their devices and social pressures, the young people are encouraged to discover who they are, what they stand for, and how they can positively influence others. Surrounded by like-minded peers and guided by experienced mentors, they learn to communicate courageously, support their mates and lead with compassion.

The program blends adventure-based learning with outcomes-driven education in wellbeing, teamwork and leadership. Participants graduate with a safeTALK accreditation – a nationally recognised suicide alertness qualification – equipping them with practical skills to recognise warning signs, act confidently, and support someone who may be thinking about taking their own life.

Camp Hero LEADERSHIP isn’t just a camp. It’s a catalyst for young people to step up, push their boundaries and become the mental health leaders their communities need.

Can you hold Camp Hero for my school?

Yes. All our camp programs can be held for school groups.
