Across our six campsites, schools, churches and community groups discover spaces designed for adventure, reflection and meaningful time together. With experienced teams and purpose-built facilities, every stay is carefully supported from planning through to the final activity.

CYC HERITAGE

OUR HERITAGE

1952 • The first CYC camps begin.

Since 1952, CYC has been welcoming young people and families to camp. What began as a simple vision to serve others, share the love of Christ, and bring people together still guides us today. In many ways, we are still doing what we started out doing: offering hospitality, serving with care, and creating places where faith, friendship, and fun grow together.

Through Holiday Camps and camp experiences, generations of young people have built friendships, grown in confidence, and heard about Jesus in a supportive and encouraging environment.

CYC is a ministry of the Community Christian Churches of Victoria & Tasmania (CCCVaT).

Our CYC Legacy

BUILDING TEMPORARY COMMUNITIES WITH LIFELONG IMPACT

Drawing on our rich history, CYC creates experiences that bring together fun, adventure and community through tailored programs across a variety of inspiring locations. Our camps are not just about activities — they nurture personal growth, build leadership and create a strong sense of belonging. Through outdoor challenges and meaningful connections, every moment at CYC is designed to help groups grow together and individuals build strength and character.

For many, our camps become places where friendships are formed, confidence grows and memories are made. At CYC, we believe every camp experience can point people toward a greater purpose, and we are here to guide that journey.

HEAR SOME OF OUR CAMPER EXPERIENCES

Thanks again to all of you for providing such a great Camp environment, activities and just the people you all are. We absolutely love coming down each year and you are all so welcoming and accommodating with everything. We could not ask for a better Program.

Alan J • Youth Leader

The activities were incredible! Our students loved the giant swing and flying fox — it really pushed them out of their comfort zones in the best way.

Adam W • School Coordinator

The staff are always so generous and they certainly make it as comfortable as possible for the teachers. It can be hard work being on camp with all the students, but we're very well looked after by all the staff.
