Come breathe fresh air, experience good living, and discover the living God at Christian Youth Camps.
For the past 70 years CYC (Christian Youth Camps) has been running camp programs across Victoria. With five beautiful sites in Victoria, and one incredible site in Tasmania, we are proud to facilitate camp programs for a wide range of groups. We offer unique camping experiences for church groups, corporate groups, school groups, social groups, and much more.
Additionally, we host more than 45 camps and events for young people, families, and leaders. Between school holiday camp programs for kids and teens to camps designed to bring families closer together, we are passionate about seeing people changed for the better by the power of camp.
Our mission is simple: we want to see young people and families enjoy a refreshing camp experience, build strong relationships, and discover the living God. While all our camp programs include Christian input, we welcome campers of all backgrounds and beliefs to come enjoy the fun of camp. The heart behind our programs is to balance community building, outdoor recreation, and opportunities for faith development.

CYC camps are for all ages! Our Holiday Camps run for primary aged campers in grades 3-6, and for teen campers from year 7-12. We also have our Family Camps that are open to the whole family, as well as young adult camps and leadership camps too!
How long are CYC camps?
Our programs differ in length. Most school holiday camps run for four nights, while some programs (including some family camps and young adult camps) may take place over a long weekend.
Where are CYC camps?
CYC has six sites across Victoria and Tasmania. In Victoria, we have two locations down at Phillip Island, one in Yarra Junction, one in Neerim East, and even one site in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Our Tasmanian site is located in Dodges Ferry, on the beautiful surrounds of the southern beaches.
