Experience your imagination. Literally.
Books inspire children. They fuel their imaginations and give them the courage to believe they can be whatever they want to be. Little Bookworms is a week filled with literary experiences. From its deep histories and expansive themes, to the protagonists and worlds that strike us with awe – this is one magical week that you won’t want to miss!
Secure my spot!

Who are the Indigenous Literacy Foundation?
In remote communities across Australia, access to reading material is extremely limited and this impacts the achievements of the children in these communities. The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) is a national community-led charity of the Australian Book Industry, working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander remote Communities across Australia to respond to requests from remote communities for culturally relevant books and resources to support communities to create and publish their stories in languages of their choice.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Camp Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
