In 2015, Macarthur Youth Services Network (MYSN) asked young people in the Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly areas what they like to do for affordable fun, with the goal of

creating a resource for young people, services providers and the broader community.

The result is ‘30 things for young people to do in Macarthur under $15’, a free resource that looks at affordable

entertainment and leisure activities across the Macarthur region. From bushwalking and shopping to adventure and

recreation, this resource highlights the top 30 activities that young people voted for.

MYSN is a local network that provides the opportunity for youth services to connect, exchange information, ideas,

work collaboratively on projects and identify issues of concern for young people from Campbelltown, Camden and

Wollondilly local government areas. Membership is open for all government, non-government and not for profit organisations

that work with young people aged 12 to 25 years across the Macarthur region.

For more information or to join the network, contact Sector Connect on 4648 5933.
