Virtual 360 Photographic Tour of Malmsbury Camp

Schools planning a trip to Doxa Youth Foundation’s Malmsbury Camp can now view the camp facilities and activities via a 360 photographic tour featured on our website.

The tour highlights the natural bush setting which is fundamental to the Malmsbury Camp experience and its range of outdoor adventure activities. The Tour provides a useful tool for those planning for camp to do a ‘walk through’, so they can familiarise themselves with the camp layout and facilities.

To view the Virtual Tour explore the Malmsbury Camp page on our website.

V/Line supporting DYF since 1976

When catching the train from Geelong to Melbourne the other day it was great to be reminded of the support our major sponsor V/Line has provided us with for the past 49 years!

V/Line has been with Doxa Youth Foundation from the early days providing free travel for children to ensure that they don’t miss out on attending school and holiday camp experiences at our bush camp in Malmsbury and at our Melbourne City Camp. V/Line has also been a Cadetship Sponsor organisation providing mentored industry placements for talented university students requiring additional financial and professional development support to reach their full potential.

We celebrate V/Line’s commitment to helping to create opportunities for children and young people facing socio economic challenges and we look forward to this partnership continuing for many years to come. To find out more about V/Line Group Travel Bookings.

Launching new website for Doxa Youth Foundation

Our website has recently had a refresh to reflect the range of programs we provide creating opportunities for children and young people.

Doxa Youth Foundation is one of the few Victorian organisations that provide programs spanning key developmental and life cycle stages of a young person. We provide school and holiday camp programs for primary and secondary school aged children in our bush camp location at Malmsbury and at Melbourne City Camp, as well as a bush camping experience for secondary school aged young people as part of our Journey Camp Program. And university students needing some additional support can apply to the Doxa Youth Foundation Cadetship Program which provides financial support and mentored industry placements with sponsor organisations so these young people can reach their full potential.

Thank you to our web developer Blick Creative for working with us to put the site together and photographers Michelle Jarni for capturing some of our campers having fun and Nikole Ramsay for her photographs of some of our Cadets. Visit the website.
