Cebu Camp Marina Training Center
Camp Marina is very popular in Cebu for outdoor activities located in Centerpoint Hotel, Cebu City. Camp Marina is named after the late Mrs. Marina Yulo-Vargas, one of the charter members of the Girl Scout Movement. Mrs. Vargas who hailed from Iloilo City served as GSP National President from 1949-1951 and as National Treasurer from 1951-1955. Marina Yulo-Vargas Regional Program and Training Center is a labor of love and a tribute to the combined efforts of both government and private sectors.
Features on Camp:
- chalet-type 3-storey building painted in maroon and white and situated in the highest slope overlooking the camp area.
- a huge open air circular amphitheater carved out of the hill which can accommodate 2,000 campers
- 5 units of outdoor latrines and bath cubicles for the camp areas.

Q-PARK
Q-PARK @ Compostela, CEBU
The 200-hectare complex located in Compostela is a project of the family of Norberto Quisumbing, Jr. and the Norkis Group. Has a Boy’s Camp, a Girl’s Camp, a rest area, the Nativity Cave, the Stations of the Cross and a Heroes Hill. Open free to the public daily from about 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In its anahaw-roofed kiosk are life-size portraits of Philippine presidents and Filipino statesmen. Surrounding the center of the kiosk is a pond full of koi, for “an ecological ambiance.”
The latter, about a hectare in size, is the only place that is open only by invitation or by request and in its space is a tribute to the unknown soldiers, the OFWs, the awardees of the Filipino Foundation from 1986-2003.
The lazy way to get there is by request, because this means park superintendent Rudy V. Enriquez and project engineer Victor Maldo will be around to guide you.
- One gets to Q Park by going from Cebu City, north to Compostela. Somewhere in Barangay Magay, to one’s left, is a sign that points to Q Park.
- One enters this road and, after traveling about five kilometers, one sees the entrance of Q Park. It’s a steep, uphill climb to Heroes’ Hill from where Enriquez and Maldo take you around the park in a four-wheel drive golf cart.
- They take you downhill, pointing out the road up to the Boys and Girls’ camps, and coming to a small, tree-lined clearing we stop. Here, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Holy Mass will be said at 3 p.m. (except Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday).
