Investing in adventure is investing in growth, confidence, and lifelong change.

At Young Life Australia, time in the outdoors isn’t just fun – it’s transformative. Nature strengthens mental and physical wellbeing, but it also creates space for deeper relationships, belonging, and meaningful conversations about life and faith.

For decades, Summer Camp has been the highlight of our year, and for many young people, the best week of theirs. Every year we see lives change as as result of our programs and experiences.

Adventure runs through all our programs – hiking, canoeing, archery tag, abseiling, cycling, canyoning and more – each designed to help young people grow beyond their comfort zones.

Delivering safe, high-quality outdoor programs requires qualified staff and significant resources. As a not-for-profit, we often subsidise costs so young people from low-income families can participate.

We’re also dreaming bigger, developing new wilderness expeditions that offer even deeper opportunities for growth and transformation.
