When Sydney woman Nina O'Toole jumps into a pool, rides a jet ski, goes bushwalking or paints mugs to take home, she is having the same experience as thousands of other young people on a recreational camp.

For her and many other people living with a disability, this rite of passage has been made possible by a national program that offers recreational camp experiences with the help of support workers and sport stars.
