YMCA Defence Communities. Have fun. Build connections. Make memories. Explorers Staycation & Day programs are a fun environment for 5–12-year-olds to meet other Defence children, while encouraging personal growth. Our Family Camps and Family Fun Days enable families to come together, as well as connecting with other Defence families through organised activities.
Registrations opening soon for Family Fun Day – The Parks. Save the date: 14 June.
