We know organising a camp can be overwhelming, which is why our custom-built MYCYC portal does the heavy lifting for you. Easily manage dietary needs, room allocations, schedules, and communications in one place, so you can focus on your group, not the paperwork.
Safety is our top priority. Our site is fully compliant with risk management standards, and all necessary documentation is available in your portal. Plus, our site staff work closely with you to ensure a safe and well-organised experience for everyone.
You’re never on your own! Our staff will ensure every detail is handled with expertise and care. We’ll be with you every step of the way.
Our MYCYC portal makes managing dietary restrictions, and meal planning simple. With real-time access, you can update guest information, communicate directly with our site staff, and ensure every participant’s needs are met—seamlessly and stress-free.
Our campsite are designed for comfort, convenience, and adventure, offering spacious group accommodations, fully catered meals, and a range of onsite activities—so everything you need is in one place.
With activities like the Low Ropes Course, Flying Fox, Water Action Tower, Mountain Boarding, and Archery, guests can challenge themselves and build confidence. While team sports like basketball, volleyball, and canoe races—including a lake play area – help build teamwork and leadership skills.
We encourage group leaders to visit and explore the facilities firsthand, ensuring the space meets your group’s needs and giving you peace of mind before your camp begins.
CYC is a Christian organisation, and our core ministry focuses on faith-based Holiday Camps during school holidays. However, when hosting schools, corporate retreats, sports teams, or special interest groups, we are fully respectful of different beliefs and do not preach or provide religious instruction unless specifically requested by the group.
Our focus for all groups is to provide exceptional camp experiences in a welcoming and inclusive environment, ensuring that everyone enjoys their time without pressure or expectations around faith. If you have any concerns, we encourage an open conversation to tailor your camp experience to suit your group’s needs.
Where required Boom Gates control all vehicle movements and while staff and delivery vehicles are permitted in some areas of each facility, in all cases the guests enjoy right of way. Speeds are limited to walking pace only. All relevant road rules apply.
Boom gates are used at several sites along with other speed-restricting devices to ensure compliance.
This would fall under part of each facility’s emergency plan. All campers are made aware of the emergency evacuation procedures upon arrival at camp. Refer resource page.
All CYC Ltd facilities have an accreditation approved emergency plan for many contingencies. Refer resource page.
While instructors have the technical knowledge and expertise to instruct students and other guests, the teachers/group leaders continue to have the responsibility for the general safety, welfare and behaviour, at all times.
Each CYC facility has a 24-hour caretaker or assistant who lives on site.
All sites hold current local Health Department certificates for Prescribed Accommodation and Registration of Food Premises.
