Camp Details
The classic CYC tramping camp is back in 2018 – 4 days of getting away from txts, snapchat and social media is just the ticket to a relaxing time away.
Of course you will need to carry all your own clothes and sleeping gear – so don’t bring the kitchen sink with you!!!! Get into the outdoors – away from cellphones, tv and computers – learn about navigation in the bush, bush-craft and cooking your own meals in the great outdoors.
