Dads Sport & Support Weekend
We offer a unique opportunity for Dads to come together with others who have been through the loss of a child, using outdoor activities.
September 18th – 20th 2026
Corrimal Beach, NSW
Sport & Support is social platform for bereaved Dads to come together in an environment with others who have been through the loss of a child. The event is a combination of being social, casually addressing specific topics that often come up for bereaved dads in regards to grief and utilising the physical activities offered. It will also have some structure to allow time for bereaved dads to reflect on their grief and their changed family dynamics but also an opportunity to focus on their own well-being and social interactions.
Our program has been developed by our experience counselling team to support Dad’s in their own grief and relationships. Through using outdoor activities, grief focused activities and peer support (including a BBQ and campfire) we offer a unique opportunity for Dads to come together, share their story and find coping strategies within under the supervision of our counsellor Greg J Boerma. We promise you this weekend is not focused on sitting around and sharing feelings (but you can if you want) – but we will be doing some grief work with a difference.
