CYC The Island provides the perfect environment for community groups to connect, collaborate and unwind.

How does CYC make camp planning easier for group leaders?

We know organising a camp can be overwhelming, which is why our custom-built MYCYC portal does the heavy lifting for you. Easily manage dietary needs, room allocations, schedules and communications in one place, so you can focus on your group, not the paperwork.

How does CYC ensure safety for groups?

Safety is our top priority. Our site is fully compliant with risk management standards, and all necessary documentation is available in your portal. Plus, our site staff work closely with you to ensure a safe and well-organised experience for everyone.

What kind of support can I expect during the planning process?

You’re never on your own! Our staff will ensure every detail is handled with expertise and care. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

How does CYC accommodate dietary needs?

Our MYCYC portal makes managing dietary restrictions, and meal planning simple. With real-time access, you can update guest information, communicate directly with our site staff, and ensure every participant’s needs are met—seamlessly and stress-free.

What types of accommodations and facilities are available?

Our campsite are designed for comfort, convenience and adventure, offering spacious group accommodations, fully catered meals and a range of onsite activities—so everything you need is in one place.

With activities like the Low Ropes Course, Flying Fox, Water Action Tower, Mountain Boarding and Archery, guests can challenge themselves and build confidence. While team sports like basketball, volleyball and canoe races—including a lake play area – help build teamwork and leadership skills.

We encourage group leaders to visit and explore the facilities firsthand, ensuring the space meets your group’s needs and giving you peace of mind before your camp begins.

Will our group receive religious instruction while at camp?

CYC is a Christian organisation and our core ministry focuses on faith-based Holiday Camps during school holidays. However, when hosting schools, corporate retreats, sports teams, or special interest groups, we are fully respectful of different beliefs and do not preach or provide religious instruction unless specifically requested by the group.

Our focus for all groups is to provide exceptional camp experiences in a welcoming and inclusive environment, ensuring that everyone enjoys their time without pressure or expectations around faith. If you have any concerns, we encourage an open conversation to tailor your camp experience to suit your group’s needs.

How does CYC balance affordability with quality?

We believe a great camp experience shouldn’t break the budget. Our all-inclusive packages provide high-quality facilities, expert-led activities and full catering at a cost-effective rate. With experience managing large group logistics, we maximise value while keeping pricing fair and transparent.

What are the rules governing student use of swimming pool?

Schools are requested to supply at least one water qualified staff person to supervise the pool activities. However if this is not possible, arrangements can be made in advance for CYC Limited staff, or outside providers (at an additional cost) to supervise the pool. A minimum of two staff and a ratio of 1- 10 is the minimum required.

What are the restrictions/regulations regarding the use of vehicles on the site?

Where required Boom Gates control all vehicle movements and while staff and delivery vehicles are permitted in some areas of each facility, in all cases the guests enjoy right of way. Speeds are limited to walking pace only. All relevant road rules apply.

How are these vehicles managed?

Boom gates are used at several sites along with other speed restricting devices to ensure compliance.

Do you have an emergency plan for medical evacuation or similar?

This would fall under part of each facility’s emergency plan. All campers are made aware of the emergency evacuation procedures upon arrival at camp. Refer resource page.

Does the site have an evacuation plan, including maps, instruction checklist, assembly sites and operating system?

All CYC Ltd facilities have an accreditation approved emergency plan for many contingencies. Refer resource page.

What are expected standards of behaviour?

While instructors have the technical knowledge and expertise to instruct students and other guests, the teachers/group leaders continue to have the responsibility for the general safety, welfare and behaviour, at all times.

Does the site provide a 24-hr caretaker or supervisor who lives on site that teachers can contact?

Each CYC facility has a 24-hour caretaker or assistant who lives on site.

Does the site hold the appropriate Health Department certification?

All sites hold current local Health Department certificates for Prescribed Accommodation and Registration of Food Premises.
