Lord and Lady Somers Camp (known as Big Camp) challenges the perspectives that young people hold about themselves and others. Through introducing 100 young men and 100 young women to a broad range of peers, we help dismantle social barriers through an increased understanding and acceptance of diversity.

Lord Somers Camp and Power House run a number of programs and activities aimed at breaking down social barriers and celebrating diversity in our community. Thank you for your support of our organisation as a whole.

The program also promotes mutual understanding amongst multicultural youth and volunteer staff.
