Community Supporters

The myriad of community groups who choose to support the Portsea Camp is fantastic. Strong relationships have been formed with community groups throughout Victoria and we never underestimate the integral part they play in ensuring the success of the Camp, particularly of the holiday camps.

Some of the ways these groups help to assist the camp are:

• Sponsoring groups of/ individual children to attend camp
• Covering the expense of recreational needs such as rash vests or art supplies
• Manual labour, or technical expertise, advice
