22.01.2022 Following the recent State Government announcements, YMCA Victoria will be closing all of our camps, effective immediately. The decision to temporarily close our camps to the general public and school groups has been made to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of staff, customers and the entire YMCA community. We will work towards re-opening our camps when the health advice is that it’s safe to do so.... YMCA Victoria Camps are committed to the strong relationships that we have built with our valued customers over the years and hope that we can work with you through this challenging period together. If you have any questions, we will remain contactable during the closure period. Please visit http://www.camps.ymca.org.au/covid-19-updates.html stay up to date with YMCA Camps updates. Stay safe and many thanks to our amazing staff customers and community for your continued support.
