Our programs create fun, friendship, care, acceptance and belonging – it’s our DNA.
They also achieve significant social impact, leadership capabilities, empowerment, engagement, well-being and personal and community development.
The whole person is recognised, making our programs life-changing. We integrate their physical, social emotional, spiritual and mental dimensions through a range of activities. They’re also underpinned by a proven quality framework based on design, implementation and evaluation.
Lord Somers Camp and Power House has a zero tolerance toward child / client abuse and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for its Employees, Members, Visitors, Volunteers, Program Participants and particularly for Children and Vulnerable People.
We are a registered not-for-profit organisation that engages young people in volunteering and community development.
We are registered to provide Deductible Gift Receipts (DGR) to support our community programs.
Our camp site is fully accredited by Accredited Tourism Business Australia and has earned the right to display both the Camp & Adventure accreditation logo and the COVID Clean logo.
