About Blackwater PCYC
The Blackwater branch first opened in 1983 and strives to improve communities through youth development. We currently have 945 members and membership is continually growing as new programs and activities are introduced.
We offer gymnastics, bingo, aerobics, power bar, basketball, indoor soccer, boxing, cricket, treadmill, toddler time and internet café. Our biggest event of the week is ‘Friday Night Skating' which is open to all school aged children.
Our Youth Management Team is made up of eleven young people and one of their main roles is to run Friday night skating where our basketball court becomes a skating rink and the lights are turned down so the disco lights can be turned up.
The biggest annual event hosted by the Blackwater PCYC is PCYC Week, which is held in July each year. We now provide before and after school care, which is located in the Blackwater State School preschool building. This facility is open before and after school each day of the week and during school holidays the vacation care program takes over.
Work has just been completed on a building extension which will include a new entry foyer, fitness centre and office areas. Blackwater PCYC not only welcomes local community members but those from Comet, Dingo, Bluff & Duaringa.
