Torbay Beach Camp 2024 (Members Only)


Torbay Beach Camp at Camp Kennedy is the Club's premier annual event on the south coast west of Albany, https://campkennedy.org!

It is an absolute beachfront holiday. Past activities at the camp have included Talent Show evening, walks, swimming, canoeing, boogie boarding, fishing, coffee drinking at local cafe, etc. As in previous years, the site is deemed alcohol and smoking free.

Families stay in separate 'hut'. The huts have a bed base and mattress but little else – they are really basic. You will have the use of the shared outdoor kitchen/BBQ area, dish washing area with running water, fridge and freezers and the ablution blocks. There is also a fee-paying washing machine and clothes line for laundry. The dining hall has tables and benches. You will need to provide your own cooking pots and serving plates and utensils.
