BLUE STAR

PCYC Blue Star Leadership programs work with young people across NSW to develop their skills, character and Leadership. Underpinned with the NSW Duke of Edinburgh International Awards, Blue Star Bronze & Silver Levels include three 5-day camps where participants will work through a range of individual and team challenges, as well as participate in leadership workshops. In between each camp, participants give back to their local communities by volunteering at their local PCYC Club. Our Blue Star Leadership programs provide practical and real-life skills that young people can apply to their everyday lives, assisting in creating positive young leaders within local communities.
