Licola Wilderness Village
The township of Licola is owned entirely by the Lions Clubs of Victoria and southern New South Wales. The greater part of the town is occupied by the Licola Wilderness Village, where Lions Clubs have for 50 years run camps for the underprivileged, deserving, special needs, and disengaged young people, mostly held during school holidays.
Fellow Lions, here is question for you: What does Licola mean to you?
Whatever your response is, depending on how attached you are to the organisation and its work, I think it is fair to say that Lions generally view Licola as a place that provides camps primarily for deserving and special needs young children, and exists to deliver and fulfill the vision of the original co-founders in1969; to positively change young lives. And there is no doubt that thousands of young lives have indeed benefited positively from the experience of attending camps over the past 52 years since the very first camp was held over Xmas in 1973.
