Edmund Rice Camps for Kids WA Inc (ERCKWA) is a non-profit community-based organisation that serves the needs of WA 'at risk' or disadvantaged children aged 7–16 and their families (families who would not otherwise have such opportunities). We achieve this via a variety of developmentally-focused recreational and educational respite programs, including camps. ERCKWA also fosters the ongoing personal development of young adult volunteer leaders who act as friends and mentors to the children in our care.
