School Camps

More than just outdoor fun, the YMCA of Sydney delivers outdoor education! The YMCA of Sydney specialises in the development and delivery of School Camps and Outdoor Education Programs. Our friendly, professional staff combine customised facilitation with our exciting activities to deliver genuine outcomes that will see your students learn and grow while having fun. Our Camps are the ideal venue for any school camp program, from fully programmed outdoor education to special interest and hire groups.

At the Y we take special care to ensure an enjoyable experience for visiting teachers. The YMCA of Sydney is one of the largest providers of Outdoor Education in the State, already servicing the needs of many schools in the Independent and State sector. We own two major camp-sites near Richmond and manage the Sydney Olympic Park Lodge at Homebush.

Principals, teachers and parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. The YMCA is a trusted name - qualified and experienced staff backed by a stringent licensing and auditing process ensures the enjoyment and safety of all program participants. We are one of the few remaining Outdoor Education providers able to afford comprehensive indemnity insurance with the flexibility to allow us to offer the most diverse range of adventure learning activities in NSW.
