Held at YMCA’s Lady Northcote Discovery Camp, our 16–17-year-old volunteers (cadets) from across Victoria took part in a jam-packed program of team building, personal development, and hands-on training at Central Highlands VEMTC. Throughout the camp, they forged friendships, built confidence, and deepened their commitment to serving their communities — all while having a whole lot of fun.
Highlights included:
🚒 A live drafting session with Ballarat City and Rowsley Fire Brigades
🎮 CFA’s simulation table, offering real-time decision-making experience
🚨 A pumper and rescue demo from Ballan Fire Brigade
🎓 A visit from La Trobe University’s Aspire program, sharing opportunities for further development
💬 Words of encouragement from CFA CEO Greg Leach AFSM, reminding cadets to embrace every opportunity
The weekend wasn’t just about preparing for the future. It was a powerful reminder that our young members are not just tomorrow’s leaders — they are here now, taking their place and playing their part in keeping Victorian communities safe.
