CONGRATULATIONS! 

 

You are one step closer to experiencing the great outdoors in a whole new way! 

Break the Boundary is here to help you make the most of your new adventure and introduce you to adaptive hiking through a select range of trails in the Perth Hills, close to our facility in the City of Kalamunda. 

Whether you have never hiked before, never experienced off-road trails or if you simply want to get out of a rut in life and try something different, our range of adaptive hiking equipment, clinics and support from qualified Adaptive Hiking Leaders, will help you feel physically and mentally fitter.  

Our programs and clinics aim to: 

  • instill healthy, safe, and enjoyable life habits and behaviours in people living with disability and disadvantages through self-determination and leading by example. 

  • welcome people to the healing power of nature and the outdoors and how it can improve their wellbeing and outlook on life, and 

  • expose people, who may feel socially isolated, to the greater community.  

 

Objectives  

  • Provide an activity that increases the engagement and physical activity of low participation groups. 

  • Increased participant well-being, resilience and self-esteem through connection to community. 

  • Improved understanding of the benefits of physical activity and healthy lifestyles. 

  • Increased community partnerships that support healthy behaviour. 

  • Provide a healthy environment.
