Weekends are made for adventure
There's something for everyone at the Y Discovery Camps. Explore beautiful natural landscapes, relax on the beach, or paddle a kayak across calm lakes. When you're ready for a thrill, take on the giant swing, soar down the flying fox, or test yourself on the high ropes.
Our team-building activities help your group connect and develop skills like leadership, resilience and confidence. Best of all, camp gives you quality time together. Swap stories around a crackling campfire, learn more about each other, and share something incredible.
With supportive camp leaders guiding every activity and comfortable accommodation to unwind in, our weekend camps are a holiday to remember.
