Camp Getaway
|
| Thanks to the support of District 9800 clubs, Rotary Camp Getaway is an exciting project providing a camp / nature retreat for community based groups and Rotarians to use.
|
|
|
The camp aims to provide a highly accessible, quality recreational facility serving the needs of various Rotary and community initiatives. Already in operation, further accommodation at Rotary Camp Getaway is nearing operational readiness.
| Rotary Camp Getaway caters for those of all abilities and mobility, provides a meeting place for support groups, and offers those who need it most a sanctuary away from their daily struggles.
Located in Axedale in Victoria (15 minutes from Bendigo), the former youth camp has received a tremendous makeover - thousands of voluntary hours have already gone into redeveloping the site to create self contained units with full disabled facilities and a modern dormitory.
With the work of a number of Rotary clubs and generous donations including that of a 25,000 litre water tank, Rotary Camp Getaway has been the result of concerted fundraising, working bees and construction efforts by Rotary volunteers.
The end result is a contemporary and functional facility situated in natural, bright and accessible surrounds.
In a coup for a Rotary project, The Australian Tax Office has acknowledged Rotary Camp Getaway as a public benevolent institution and thus donations from companies and individuals are tax deductible.

| Rotary Camp Getaway is the result of concerted fundraising by a number of Rotary clubs across Victoria. The donations and physical efforts of these Clubs have been invaluable. However, donations from the public, sponsors and partners make large projects like this much more achievable - your support, whether in the form of financial contribution, volunteer labour, donation of goods or services, or expertise allows us to meet the needs of others who need support.
| And it's tax deductible for individuals and companies!
| If you can lend a hand, we'd love to hear from you! Call Rotary District 9800 Chairman, Paul Kirkpatrick on 0419 368 430or click here to send us an email.

| Get involved in Rotary! Either as a new Rotarian or a partner to our initiatives, your contribution can make a difference. Programs like this one rely on the efforts of volunteer Rotarians, whose time and effort has enabled the rollout of similar initiatives to thousands of Australians in need of support.
| Your contribution today will go towards providing a getaway to someone who really needs the support that Rotary provides.
