Building our community village, one partnership at a time! 🌿❤️

Today marks the beginning of another wonderful partnership at Cooinda Retreats, as we welcome the City of Victor Harbor and the Circle of Supports program.

Over the next five weeks, Cooinda will provide a welcoming space for young families from across our region to come together, connect, share experiences and build their own circles of support.

For Toc H South Australia, this is exactly what building community is all about.

We believe that strong communities grow when people, organisations and local government come together, share their strengths and create opportunities that respond to real community needs.

Our vision for Cooinda Retreats has always been about more than accommodation. It’s about creating a place where people belong, partnerships flourish and community wellbeing is at the heart of what we do.

We’re thrilled to be working alongside the City of Victor Harbor and look forward to seeing this partnership grow.

Because community isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we build together. ❤️

This is community in action at Toc H South Australia.

Community is not one group, one tradition or one way of seeing the world. It is many different people coming together with openness, kindness and a shared sense of belonging.

We are proud that Cooinda Retreats is a place where diverse communities can gather, connect and feel genuinely welcome.

Today, Cooinda Retreats came alive with the Fleurieu Youth Climate Summit 2026, and for Toc H South Australia, this is the vision our members hold so proudly.

A place where community gathers, ideas are exchanged, volunteers contribute, partnerships form, and people come together with shared interest, energy and purpose.

The Summit reflected so much of what Toc H South Australia believes in, active citizenship, community service, environmental responsibility, advocacy, learning and connection.

It was inspiring to see Cooinda Retreats being used in such a practical and meaningful way, supporting conversations and action that matter to the Fleurieu community and beyond.

This is community in motion.

Toc H South Australia is proud to share that Cooinda Retreats will host the 2026 Fleurieu Youth Climate Summit on 4 June.

This is more than passive involvement. Through Cooinda Retreats, Toc H SA is pleased to support the Summit as a sponsor, venue host and guest presenter.

With more than 110 participants expected this year, the Summit strongly reflects our vision for Cooinda as a future community centre and village, a place where young people, community partners, educators and local leaders can come together to learn, connect and respond to the issues that matter.

We will also be presenting on food waste management, set against the broader backdrop of climate strategy and practical environmental action.

We look forward to welcoming students, teachers, facilitators and community leaders from across the Fleurieu Peninsula.

🌿 The Fleurieu Youth Climate Summit is almost here! 🌿

On Thursday 4 June, students from across the Fleurieu Peninsula will come together at Cooinda Retreats for a day of learning, collaboration, leadership and climate action.

Now in its fifth year, the Summit creates opportunities for young people to share ideas, explore practical solutions, connect with peers, and be inspired by guest speakers and facilitators from across the region.

We are proud to be hosting and sponsoring this important event and look forward to welcoming the next generation of changemakers to Cooinda Retreats.

It was wonderful to welcome Lou Nicholson Fleurieu Peninsula our new State Member for Finniss, to Toc H South Australia’s Cooinda Retreats today.

Adam and Beck had the opportunity to walk Lou through the site and share more about our emerging community centre village concept, which focuses on wellbeing, inclusion, connection and practical community support across the Southern Fleurieu.

We also appreciated the chance to discuss the importance of school camps and the Government’s commitment in this area, particularly around access, affordability and the role community-based providers can play.

Thank you Lou for taking the time to visit, listen and understand the work we are doing at Toc H South Australia and Cooinda Retreats.
