The CYC Camp Difference

More Than Just a Weekend—An Experience That Stays With You

Faith, Fun & Friendship in a Safe Community

Our camps are a welcoming space where young people feel safe, supported, and included. With caring Christian leaders, campers explore faith at their own pace, build friendships, and experience the love of Jesus in a way that feels natural and exciting.

Grow in Self-Confidence

Camp is a place to step outside comfort zones, try new things, and discover who you are. Through faith-filled experiences and real conversations, campers develop a personal connection with Jesus while having fun and forming lifelong friendships.

Exciting Adventures for Every Camper

From flying fox thrills to creative arts and storytelling, our camps cater to all interests and energy levels. Every activity is designed to build confidence, encourage teamwork, and create unforgettable memories.

A Safe & Supportive Space for Every Child

For campers facing challenges at home or in out-of-home care, our camps provide a structured, uplifting environment where they feel valued, connected, and surrounded by God’s love.

Bringing the Bible to Life Through Camp

Through interactive, age-appropriate Bible sessions, campers explore faith in a way that’s engaging, meaningful, and relevant to their lives—often becoming a highlight of their camp experience.

A Holiday Experience That Lasts Beyond Camp

More than just a holiday program, our camps offer new friendships, unforgettable experiences, and a deeper connection with God—giving campers something meaningful to take home.

Faith-Filled Camps Designed for Young People of All Backgrounds

What makes CYC a trusted choice for youth camps?

For over 70 years, CYC has been a place where young people feel safe, supported, and truly seen. Our camps are more than just adventure and fun—they’re designed to help young people grow in confidence, build lasting friendships, and explore faith in a way that’s relevant to them.

We know that for some campers, home life can be challenging. That’s why we create an environment where every young person feels valued, heard, and supported. Surrounded by caring Christian leaders and fellow young believers, campers can ask big questions, explore their faith, and experience God’s love in a real and personal way.

With accredited facilities, trained staff, and a strong foundation in Christian values, CYC is a place where young people can step away from life’s pressures, find community, and discover hope for the future.

How do you ensure the safety and wellbeing of campers?

Safety is our top priority. Every CYC Limited facility is accredited by the Australian Camping Association (ACA) and the National Accommodation, Recreation and Tourism Accreditation (NARTA), both recognised by the Victorian Education Department. Our camps follow strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and supportive environment for all campers.

What training do your volunteers and staff receive?

Our volunteers undergo extensive training and vetting before working at camp. Many have attended CYC camps themselves and are passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and positive experience for young people. Adventure activity staff are certified and signed off by a Level 3 ropes course instructor and workplace trainer before leading any activities.

How long has CYC been running youth camps?

CYC has been running Christian youth camps for over 70 years, providing life-changing experiences for thousands of children and teens. With decades of expertise, we create an environment that balances fun, faith, and personal growth.

What safety measures are in place for adventure activities?

Every CYC adventure activity staff member is professionally trained and assessed by a Level 3 ropes course instructor and workplace trainer before leading activities. We also use industry-approved equipment and follow strict safety procedures to ensure all activities are run safely and professionally.

Are your camps accredited?

Yes! All CYC Limited facilities and campsites are fully accredited by the ACA (Australian Camping Association) and NARTA (National Accommodation, Recreation and Tourism Accreditation), which are both recognised by the Victorian Education Department. This ensures we meet the highest safety and operational standards for youth camps.

Who supervises the campers during their stay?

Every camp is led by a team of highly trained staff and carefully vetted volunteers. We maintain strict supervision ratios and ensure all leaders create a supportive, encouraging, and inclusive atmosphere for campers.

How do you handle emergency situations?

All camp staff are trained in first aid and emergency procedures, and our campsites are equipped with safety plans, emergency communication systems, and trained personnel on-site at all times. Parents can have peace of mind knowing that their child’s safety is always our highest priority.
