Guided Camp Program Planning
CYC Blue Lagoon Makes Camp planning easier for group Leaders & coordinators
Traditionally the most frustrating part of organising camp is the administration: allocating rooms, organising special diets and arranging support for any medical or special need requirements. With our easy to use self-service portal this is a thing of the past, with group leaders now able to upload information to us easily as well as download important information such as Risk Assessments and compliance documentation.
Our program planning staff will liaise with your group leader to ensure that we meet your specific learning objectives. Through instructor-led outdoor education activities programmed to complement your own school program, or a full camp program with instructor-led outdoor education activities – from design through to implementation.
We look forward to working together with you to create a memorable experience for you and your members.

Everything was just brilliant. We are always so impressed with the cleanliness and high standards of this camp. We all had such a brilliant time and everything was so well organised. We can't thank you all enough.
As always, our kids were sad to leave Blue Lagoon and we had tears when we pulled up at school Friday afternoon as they wanted to just stay on camp!
Returning to Blue Lagoon confirmed my thoughts that it really is the best facility on offer in Tas. The respect you show our staff and students and the professionalism of meal times and safety matters are outstanding…
We would like you to know how grateful we are for your assistance alongside the team building, group games, and giving us the real camp experience by hosting a campfire. The 30-metre slides were incredibly fun, and the built-in trampolines were the bounciest trampolines we had ever been on! Every night you provided us with a delicious meal and dessert, and we all thought it was amazing.
We all had such a blast at camp!!! Kids are still on a high over it! Loved the rock and crate climbing - what I lacked in raw talent I made up for in enthusiasm!!!! Mega thanks again to you all for a simply splendiferous time at camp - we all absolutely LOVED it!!!!!!
Our students, the teachers and myself had a lovely time at Camp and we are so grateful for the caring support of all the staff we encountered. It was brilliant!
We have continued to receive positive feedback from parents about your camp including how great you all were as a staff; interacting with us and having fun. We can’t thank you enough, yet again a great success.
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.
For over 70 years, CYC has been a place where young people feel safe, supported, and truly seen. Our camps are more than just adventure and fun—they’re designed to help young people grow in confidence, build lasting friendships, and explore faith in a way that’s relevant to them.
We know that for some campers, home life can be challenging. That’s why we create an environment where every young person feels valued, heard, and supported. Surrounded by caring Christian leaders and fellow young believers, campers can ask big questions, explore their faith, and experience God’s love in a real and personal way.
With accredited facilities, trained staff, and a strong foundation in Christian values, CYC is a place where young people can step away from life’s pressures, find community, and discover hope for the future.
Safety is our top priority. Every CYC Limited facility is accredited by the Australian Camping Association (ACA) and the National Accommodation, Recreation and Tourism Accreditation (NARTA), both recognised by the Victorian Education Department. Our camps follow strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and supportive environment for all campers.
Our volunteers undergo extensive training and vetting before working at camp. Many have attended CYC camps themselves and are passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and positive experience for young people. Adventure activity staff are certified and signed off by a Level 3 ropes course instructor and workplace trainer before leading any activities.
CYC has been running Christian youth camps for over 70 years, providing life-changing experiences for thousands of children and teens. With decades of expertise, we create an environment that balances fun, faith, and personal growth.
Every CYC adventure activity staff member is professionally trained and assessed by a Level 3 ropes course instructor and workplace trainer before leading activities. We also use industry-approved equipment and follow strict safety procedures to ensure all activities are run safely and professionally.
Every camp is led by a team of highly trained staff and carefully vetted volunteers. We maintain strict supervision ratios and ensure all leaders create a supportive, encouraging, and inclusive atmosphere for campers.
All camp staff are trained in first aid and emergency procedures, and our campsites are equipped with safety plans, emergency communication systems, and trained personnel on-site at all times. Parents can have peace of mind knowing that their child’s safety is always our highest priority.
