We spend four mornings during the week working in small groups on different farms. We come back to camp for lunch and afternoon activities. In the afternoon there are a couple of hours for various hobbies and sports, followed by the famous bucket showers, a Bible study, dinner and evening activities. On Sunday we attend a local church and have various other activities organised. Wednesday is our day out when we spend some time in the local area enjoying having a day off from farm work to see some of the local sights.

This year we are hoping to have around 30 boys on camp.

Yes, if you have a friend coming to Camp, and you would like to be in the same room or tent, let us know in the "other information" section of the application form.

Children outside the advertised age range are not normally accepted onto camp.

Yes, just tell them to register online or contact the Camp Director for any further information.

Part of the camper registration process is to inform us of any medical conditions or requirements your child might have that could impact their time at camp. Our First Aid officers are equipped to administer medication as stipulated by you at registration. If the camp has any questions regarding the medical requirements they will contact you prior to the camp beginning.

Yes, please provide a comprehensive list of dietary requirements when registering your child onto camp. We are able to cater for most children with special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose intolerance. In certain circumstances, parents may be required to provide special food for their child to bring to camp.

All SUNSW Camps have Senior First Aid qualified leaders who will deliver first-response treatment in the event of an injury or illness. A decision is then made about whether further medical attention is needed and if the camper needs to visit a medical centre or hospital. The Camp Director will contact the parent or guardian as soon as possible if outside medical attention is required for your child and if there are any major incidents that occur involving your child.

This is a responsibility of the parent/guardian, please contact the director if assistance is required. Some individual camps have transport options, these will be an additional cost to the registration. For further information please contact the Camp Director

We open camp registrations online one school term in advance (e.g. summer camp registrations open at the start of term 4). You can also register your interest in hearing when an individual camp's registrations open, by utilising our "Expressions Of Interest" option.

SU NSW Camps are committed to caring for your child, with a ratio of 1 leader for every 5 campers and in most camps, this ratio is even lower. Each volunteer has a current Working With Children Check and training in Child Protection.

No problem. If you have a tent or swag of your own then bring it but if you don't, we have some extra tents or you can share with someone who does have a tent. Guys and girls pitch their tents in separate areas that are out of bounds of each other.

If you are unable to use the online registration process, you can register your child for a camp by posting, faxing or emailing this registration form to the SU office (click to download PDF). Alternatively, you can register over the phone by calling the SU Office on 02 9638 9000.

We don’t want any child to miss out on a life-transforming experience. SU NSW has Benevelont Funding available for those experiencing financial hardship. Please contact the Camp Director or SU NSW office 02 9638 9000.

Prior to camp, you will receive a ‘camp information pack’ by email with all the details of what your child will need to bring to camp. Drop off and pick up times and location of the camp will also be included. This information will also be available for download on the camps unique page on our website. In the meantime, you can also see our 'typical pack list'.

Each day of camp features a short, age-appropriate Bible presentation and small group time for campers to talk about issues in greater depth and ask questions about God, life and everything.

SU camps have two major styles of accommodation: dormitory-style, and camping in tents. Depending on what kind of Camp you select, it will determine what accommodation type you will be in. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag or similar bedding supplies. Each dorm will have two leaders supervising each dorm. Under the guidelines of Child Safe, at least two leaders will be present at any time.

You will be expected to participate in all aspects of the camp to make it as enjoyable as possible for everybody. We will be helping each other to the best of our abilities including contributing to serving and packing away at mealtimes.

Parents, Legal Guardians or Caseworkers may complete the full registration process for their child or children. Campers aged 18 or older may complete the registration themselves. Friends (e.g. the parent of another camper) or carers without legal guardianship may partially complete a registration (with or without payment) which the guardian must complete to authorise the booking, provide personal medical information and secure the place.

A team of energetic, committed, Christian Leaders look after the campers throughout camp. All leaders are reference-checked, trained in child protection procedures and have completed government child protection requirements. In addition to adult leaders, a number of Day Camps involve Junior Leaders who will get right alongside your child throughout the week.

Each camp program is unique and as a result prices vary according to the activities included, duration, numbers of participants, accommodation type and associated costs. Be assured that at all times we seek to provide you with the best quality programs at the lowest possible prices.

For our cancellation policies, please view our Booking Terms and Conditions.

SU NSW Camps and their volunteers hold a strong commitment to the well-being of everyone who participates in our camps. We operate under Scripture Union guidelines and strive to stay in line with and even ahead of the standards that are in place for the camping industry. Specific skill activities, such as abseiling and canoeing, are led by staff accredited under the relevant Australian authorities.
