At the Y Discovery Camps, we help young people step outside their comfort zones and experience amazing new adventures. Through tailored programs that inspire teamwork, resilience and personal growth, we empower students to discover their full potential.
Camp programs built around your school year
Getting your students outdoors shouldn't be limited to a single window in the school year.
That's why the Y Discovery Camps welcome schools across every term:
- Term 1
- Term 2
- Term 3
- Term 4
Whatever you have in mind for your school's adventure, we can help plan an experience that fits your curriculum and calendar.
From the moment you start planning to the last day of camp, we’ll work alongside you to ensure the experience is meaningful for every student who attends.
Why choose the Y for your school camp?
