Camping at the Y is more than just time outdoors, it’s an experience that shapes lives.
Camps & School Holiday Programs
Through safe, inclusive, and purpose-driven programs, we help young people connect with nature, each other, and themselves.
Camping at the Y has been helping generations of young Australians discover their potential through adventure, teamwork, and time in nature.
With camps across Australia, the Y’s programs create opportunities for learning, leadership, and lifelong memories.
Our camps are designed to challenge, support and inspire, helping children and young people grow in confidence, resilience, and belonging.

Every Y camp is built around hands-on learning. From ropes courses and canoeing to environmental education and team challenges, we create experiences that encourage growth, problem-solving, and self-belief.
Inclusive, safe, and supportive environments
Safety and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. All camps operate under the Y’s Child Safeguarding Framework, with qualified staff, robust risk management, and programs designed to support every ability, background, and belief.
Partnering with schools and communities
Y camps work alongside schools, educators, and community organisations to deliver curriculum-linked outdoor education and wellbeing programs. We tailor experiences for leadership development, team building, environmental studies, and mental health support.
Creating memories that last a lifetime
Whether it’s a first night away from home, a school leadership retreat, or a family weekend by the lake, every moment is an opportunity to connect, grow, and make lifelong friends.
