The Camp provides students from grades 10-12 with the opportunity to see what the university experience, particularly engineering, can provide. The Camp is directed towards students who come from Indigenous, refugee and/or financially or otherwise disadvantaged backgrounds and is run over a two week period in Brisbane and Melbourne. The purpose of the Camp is to provide the students with an insight into the life they could be involved in should they pursue tertiary education, with a particular focus on engineering. YWB provides activities to the students including workshops and excursions in order to provide them with exposure to the breadth of engineering and the role engineers play in society. Further education such as university courses may be unfamiliar or foreign to the students and the Camp provides the students with an understanding about what future study could be like.
