11.01.2022 Your next stay with us will be more comfortable than ever. We've installed: - Reverse-cycle air-conditioning units in each room* - Innerspring mattresses for group leader rooms - Carpet in our two, freshly painted, multi-purpose rooms to make them more cosy for downtime at camp... These upgrades were inspired by feedback received in recent surveys. Thanks for taking the time to respond and we look forward to you benefiting from the additional comforts. *and thanks to City of Melbourne.

10.01.2022 Anzac Hall is a significant part of Urban Camp's history. It was built in August 1941 for the RSL as a cinema, lecture, and recreation hall where soldiers could enjoy sports matches of baseball, cricket, and football on the site. In 2000, Anzac Hall was put on the Victorian Heritage Register. Today, we commemorate the men and women who have served our nation and reflect on the ANZAC spirit. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.... #ANZACDay #melbourne #urbancampau #schoolcamp #schoolcampmelbourne
