Summer camps were conducted at Somers Camp, Somers, Victoria, for many years for the children of deceased ex-servicemen.

Initially there were outings and picnics. In the 1930s permanent camp buildings were erected. There was an official handover of a long leasehold to Legacy and formal documents are in the archive.A record of the camps run by Melbourne Legacy for the children.
