Welcome to Bornhoffen – PCYC’s Centre for Youth and Community Development – located in the mountains of the Gold Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia.

Bornhoffen was established by Police-Citizens Youth Clubs Queensland (PCYC) in 1978. PCYC is a non-profit youth development organisation and has a unique partnership with the Queensland Police Service. PCYC’s Vision is ‘improving communities through youth development.’

Bornhoffen contributes strongly to PCYC’s Vision by providing positive, real, memorable and meaningful experiences which develop individuals, groups and communities.

In these times of rapid technological change, increasing pressure on our environment, reduced human social interaction and a pace of life which appears to be getting faster, Bornhoffen is a place to take time out from the normal day to day routine and spend time reflecting and reconnecting with yourself, other people and the natural environment.

Whether you wish to engage our professional facilitators to design an experience for your group, or if you are just looking for a venue to run your own program, we are sure you will find Bornhoffen an ideal setting for youth and community development.

We work in partnership with schools, community organisations, youth services, churches, special needs groups, families, government departments and PCYCs.

Our services include group accommodation, professional catering and Adventure Development programs.

Bornhoffen is just 30 minutes drive from the Gold Coast, or one hour and 20 mins from Brisbane's CBD.
