About Us

Camp Breakaway Inc. was conceived in 1982 when members of the Rotary Club in Wyong on the Central Coast of NSW convened a holiday camp for thirty young people with physical disabilities. This camp was held at Strathavon Heritage Resort at Wyong.

Following the overwhelming success of this camp and the realisation of the compound benefits for young people with disabilities, their carers and for the wider community, Wyong Rotary commenced to hold camps each year. For several years these camps were held at Camp Toukley.

The observed need for these camps became ever increasingly obvious as time went on, as was the need to have a permanent camp location – specifically designed for the purpose. With that and the vision, dedication and hard work of a large number of Rotary clubs and the Central Coast community, along with generous support from Delta Electricity, the establishment of Camp Breakaway was established at San Remo. The first camp was held in 1989.

Today, Camp Breakaway is a registered non-profit charitable organisation, a registered service provider for the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) and registered specialised substitute residential care provider (SSRC) with the NSW Office of Children’s Guardian. It continues to facilitate these camps (support programs) on 25 ideally situated, picturesque and quiet acres at San Remo. There are three main function rooms, Breakaway Lodge with a fully equipped commercial kitchen, Walnut and Cedar rooms. We have 16 cabins with ensuites, 8 A frames, and expansive grounds including basketball/tennis courts and a children’s playground area.
