Camps
PYV camps are great opportunities for youth from around Victoria to come together to learn more about God's word and to share in fellowship with one another.
Not just for youth...
These camps are not just great opportunities for youth, but are great training grounds for the youth leaders of today to become the leaders of the Church tomorrow.

Camps are costly...
Attending camps can be a costly expense, and PYV understands that there are youth who are unable to attend because of this.
The Presbyterian Church of Victoria has a Social Services Committee, who have funds that can be made available to assist youth, who would otherwise be financially unable, to attend our camps. For more details on this process and to apply for this assistance please contact admin@pyv.org.au or call 0434 198 156.
You can also help. You or your church might like to make a donation to assist or sponsor campers and leaders to attend a PYV camp. Donations can also be made to assist with costs of running a camp. To find out more about this and to make a donation click here.
So what are these camps?
In 2022/23 PYV is introducing Winter Camp and look forward to continuing to hold our annual Summer Camp. Below is a summary of these camps.
Winter Camp
PYV's annual Winter Camp seeks to brings together all youth from across Victoria for a 3 day camp over a weekend during the July School holidays.
Winter Camp is for youth between 12 year olds to those who are in year 12 at school.
Winter Camp includes a balanced mix of talks, studies and group-based activities. This camp allows youth from across Victoria (and other states too) to come together, be challenged in their faith and to grow in their relationships with God and one another over a weekend in the middle of the year.
Registrations to attend Winter Camp open in May and close in late June each year.
Summer Camp
PYV's annual Summer Camp brings together all youth from across Victoria for a five day camp in the first week of January each year. See our Summer Camp page accurate dates and more details.
Summer Camp is for youth between12 year olds to those who are in year 12 at school.
Summer Camp remains a balanced mix of talks, studies and group-based activities. This camp allows youth from across Victoria (and other states too) to come together, be challenged in their faith and to grow in their relationships with God and one another over a longer period than PYV's other camps.
Registrations to attend Summer Camp open in October and close in late November each year.
Throughout the year PYV hopes to run a number of day events.
PYV Events seek to provide opportunities for youth from around Victoria to come together to reconnect with old friends, to build new friendships and connections and to be encouraged in their faith.
