Vision:
To be a premier youth leadership and development organisation. 

Mission:
Through its many programs and activities, to provide unique opportunities for individuals from different backgrounds to develop leadership and personal skills. It involves a wide range of people, both young and old, in voluntary service. 

Values:

• tolerance, teamwork, understanding and fellowship in all the Association's programs and activities - and amongst young people in the wider community

• trust, care and friendship amongst the members of the Association - and in the wider community
• voluntary service to the members, the community and the nation - allied with the concept of "service without (seeking personal) recognition" (prodese quam conspici)
• the concept of "Play the Game" in all of the Association's programs and activities - and in the wider community.

Lord Somers, when Governor of Victoria, initiated the annual camp which bears his name at Anglesea in 1929. It was transferred to its permanent location at Somers in 1931.

The original concept of running camps which bring together youth from all walks of life to develop greater tolerance and understanding as inspired by the Duke of York has been retained and remains a major objective of the Lord Somers Camp and Power House organisation.
