SpendTimeWithYourFamily is a program born from a desire to create a memorable way to celebrate connection and to find a meaningful way to mark the coming of age of our children.
Having read much literature around “rites of passage” to mark the coming of age of children in cultures past and present, founder Craig Cooney wanted to create a similar experience for his 3 children. In 2015 Craig and his friend Mark together with their two 13 year old sons completed their open water course on the Great Barrier Reef. Coupled with discussions around the responsibility of becoming a young adult and the father’s stories of their own experiences of the teenage years, the diving trip served as a successful blueprint for the SpendTimeWithYourFamily concept to develop.
Craig has over 15 years experience in the Australian Tourism Industry, with a passion for guiding, leading and connecting groups with the natural beauty Australia has to offer.
The goal of the SpendTimeWithYourFamily is to create meaningful, transitional experiences and rites of passage that are accessible, approachable, culturally relevant and desirable for any family. One parent to another.
