The YMCA believes that camping is a journey, fostering a culture of respect for self, respect for others and respect for the environment.

To the YMCA, camping is more than a program – it’s a philosophy. With more than 100 years experience in providing camping experiences for children and young people, the YMCA has developed a unique approach that we offer to Australian families.

There are 9 camp sites to choose from and a range of activities for all ages and abilities.
