Tumbelin is a Ngarrindjeri word which means “Awaken and Live”. Building capacity for positive, healthy relationships is at the heart of how young people are supported to become awake and alive.
Getting out into nature and camping, bushwalking, kayaking, rock climbing and mountain biking creates opportunities for young people to take responsibility, discover strengths and learn new ways of being.
Located in the Mt Lofty Ranges about 45 minutes from Adelaide, the Farm is a working property and has capacity for 4 young people to stay at a time (8 from April 2020) in a therapeutic, community setting.
The program is voluntary and runs for up to 12 months through 4 stages:
Tumbelin Farm is based on the highly successful Tumbelin outreach Adventure Therapy program that Baptist Care has delivered across South Australia since 2009.

Team Leader & Education/Training Coordinator
I work at Tumbelin Farm because I want to help young people overcome the challenges they face. Many young people find themselves in a place they never asked for, and I want to play a part in helping them regain their confidence, be secure with who they are and work towards an amazing future!
Family Group Counsellor
I work at Tumbelin Farm because I know that surrounding people with Circles of Support makes the biggest difference in the lives of people wanting to sustain change in their lives.
Case Manager
I believe in the power of ‘Adventure’ to change lives. I have seen its value in my own journey and for many others. Answering the call to live life differently is challenging and it is a great honour and privilege to support young people as they seek meaningful change.
