Girls Stand Strong Adventures

Girls Stand Strong (GSS) is a regionally based program focused on girls aged 11-18 to build healthy body awareness, friendships and lifestyles. The 'Girls Stand Strong Adventures' program will build on existing GSS opportunities in the Indigo Shire, offering bi-monthly outdoor and adventure-based challenges such as abseiling, paddle-boarding, white water rafting, bushwalking, rock-climbing, mountain-biking etc. The program will enable the girls to try non-traditional fitness opportunities and encourage them to get active in their local environments, while also broadening their social networks.

The Girls Stand Strong Adventure program engages local teens and encourage alternative fitness opportunities that promote movement and healthy lifestyles, through opportunities and settings they wouldn't usually have access to. The adventures will push teens out of their comfort zones to build confidence, enable friendships with other local teens, and promote local networking and inclusion. Local businesses that provide these services will be engaged to deliver the events.
