Southern Cross Kids

Donate Fundraise

Southern Cross Kids provides a fun, safe and encouraging environment for children at risk. Through the experience of an annual camp event, young people who have suffered trauma can enjoy friendship and fun in a safe place.

Safety and fun can feel like a luxury for many kids; yet it’s a childhood right. This is why so many of them absolutely love camp - and for many of them, it is something they need in a very real way. We are making a remarkable difference in many young lives.

Through Kids Camp we hope to:

Give traumatised young people a place where they can relax and make friends.
Enable these children to connect with caring adults in a safe and fun environment.
Partner one mentor with one child to journey the camp program.

Annual South Sydney Camp

Southern Cross Kids is a national organisation that works with children in six states across Australia. For more information check out the Southern Cross Kids website.

Kingsway Community Care partners with Southern Cross Kids to deliver the Southern Sydney Camp. These camps run over 5 days, involve a team of up to 60 trained volunteers who care for 30 children. Our involvement with Southern Sydney Camp was established in 2015 and in that time we’ve cared for and encouraged over 180 young people.

The camps are jam-packed with craft, games, cooking, fun and teaching. We desire to provide a week of safe and happy memories.
