Lions Village Licola  -  Youth camp

Licola is a small beautiful village nestled beside the Macalister River, 254km east of Melbourne. We cater to family groups – both small and large, individuals, couples, school groups, outdoor recreation groups, church groups, sporting groups, and the general public.

​

The township of Licola is owned entirely by the Lions Clubs of Victoria and southern New South Wales. The greater part of the town is occupied by the Licola Wilderness Village, where Lions Clubs have for 50 years run camps for the underprivileged, deserving, special needs, and disengaged young people, mostly held during school holidays.

​

Each year Tatura Lions send 3 children from each of Tatura Primary School and Sacred Heart Primary School to the camp in January. The students are selected by their school - they are students most likely to benefit from the camp and least likely to otherwise enjoy such an experience.

​

Tatura Lions meet the full cost of the attendance by the students
