Wondering About Camp? Let’s Clear the Trail!
For over 7 Years C YC has been a place where young people feel safe, supported and truely 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.

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.
