23.01.2022 IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE THIS SUMMER KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Overestimating your swimming ability and underestimating the dangers at Victoria’s beaches, lakes and rivers increase your risk of drowning.... You should always read the safety signs to understand dangers of where you are swimming. Remember, when looking out for the safety of others, the people you’re looking out for should also include you. Know the conditions. Know your limits.

22.01.2022 Its never too late to learn something new! Today YMCA Camp Manyung in partnership with Sports and Recreation Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston City Council, had a whole lot of fun at the Get Active Expo as part of Seniors Month. Over 200 locals aged 55 and over attended the event and tried tai chi, chair yoga, croquette and YMCA adventure activities like the giant swing, tree rolling and archery.... Judy Cousins from Beleura Village was one of the many locals who enjoyed the day, This is my first time visiting YMCA Camp Manyung and I found the camp absolutely brilliant! Its not often events like this happen, and I didnt expect anything as organised and substantial as what Camp Manyung has put on today. The day included a plethora of local activity clubs, groups and organisations including @Mt Eliza 55 Plus, U3A Mornington, Frankston & District Netball Association (Jubilee Park), Probus Langwarrin, Pace and many more.

09.01.2022 Today we sadly say goodbye to the wonderful Megan. Megan has been at Camp Manyung for 20 years! (Pause for gasps! ). When Megan started at camp there were 4 staff in the team, over time this has significantly increased. She has played many roles in her time, from a programmer running activities to the service director (lets be honest she runs the show!) She will definitely be missed by all of us but we wish her all the best for the exciting future ahead. Thank you Megan for all the smiles and plenty of laughter from all of us at Camp Manyung and all our campers.
