Host International Volunteers at Your Camp

New Ventures Worldwide connects exceptional young volunteers with accredited outdoor camps across Australia. Through our new official partnership with the Australian Camps Association (ACA), we work exclusively with high-quality Host Camps committed to youth development, cultural exchange, and outdoor education.

We manage the entire process — from volunteer visa sponsorship (408 Special Program) and pre-departure training to pastoral care and ongoing placement support — so your team can stay focused on what you do best: delivering unforgettable camp experiences.

Why ACA Chose NVW

Through our new official partnership with the Australian Camps Association, New Ventures Worldwide delivers a fully compliant and supported international volunteer programme tailored specifically for ACA member camps.

We manage the visa process, screen and prepare every volunteer, and support both your team and the volunteer throughout the placement.

Is Your Camp Eligible?

To ensure safety, quality and compliance, Host Venues must:

  • ✅ Be an ACA Member in good standing
  • ✅ Hold QTF-Camp & Adventure Activities Accreditation
  • ✅ Agree to NVW’s Host Venue responsibilities

Note: If you are not currently QTF-accredited, ACA can assist you through the process. (This is something that is very important to ACA and was a condition of the partnership.)
