As a Champion, you’re giving vulnerable kids the chance to experience a life-changing camp.

Your support builds resilience, fosters wellbeing, and creates brighter futures—one child at a time.

What is a Champion

At The Portsea Camp, champions are the heartbeat of everything we do. These extraordinary individuals and businesses dedicate their time, energy, and resources to make a real difference in the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable children.

Their efforts not only fund our Make a Difference (M.A.D) programs, creating brighter futures for kids who need it most, but also help restore and maintain our site, ensuring it remains safe and functional for everyone.

Hear from our Champions

Every champion has a story, and every story inspires us.

Our champions have helped generate more than 75,000 subsidised camp positions since our founding in 1946​. The support from Champions has allowed us to continue our mission of helping children who need it the most.

How you can help

With your support, we will continue to grow. Join us in celebrating the futures of our youth, one kid at a time, one camp at a time. Together, we make a profound difference in the lives of countless children.
