The Outdoor Youth Programs Research Alliance (OYPRA) is an Australian group founded in 2009 with the aim of establishing quality evidence of the extent to which outdoor, camping and nature-based programs are associated with reliable improvements in resilience, learning and wellbeing among young people.

In 2011, OYPRA commenced an online survey of Australian providers of outdoor programs, in which staff who worked on existing programs were asked to reflect on their current practice. The study set out to establish, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the scope and diversity of outdoor youth programs on offer in Australia.


 
 

BREAKING NEWS: First Report of National Research Collaboration now available
Information we gathered from the national survey has now been compiled into a summary report: OYPRA National Survey of Australian Outdoor Youth Programs. This report is the first from the Outdoor Youth Programs Research Alliance and details key findings from our 2011 national survey of Australian providers of camps and outdoor programs for young people.

It's not too late to contribute your views - our National Survey of Australian providers of outdoor youth programs remains open.

We invite those working in the outdoors and camps sector to complete the online survey, which seeks to build a comprehensive picture of outdoor youth programs currently offered in Australia. The survey asks a series of questions about outdoor programs you have been involved in.
