CBYC
Crossing Borders Youth Camp (CBYC) is a fun, inclusive, five-day camping experience designed to empower Deaf and hard-of-hearing youth aged 12–17 from across Australia.
The camp combines outdoor adventure, leadership development, cultural exchange, and community connection. It is all delivered in a fully accessible, Auslan-rich environment.
