Impact a Generation

Created

Created

Created is a unique opportunity for kids in Years 6-10 to discover all that is involved in being a Zookeeper in a Christian, caring environment. Located at Shoalhaven Zoo, campers will be staying in tents and each day will spend some time behind the scenes in the zoo assisting staff by doing jobs to get things ready for visitors each day.  There will be a host of other fun activities including discussing concepts from the Bible and different thoughts about them. A faith background is not required to attend. This year there will also be an option to complete the Tree Tops Adventure as part of camp if you like heights & ziplining! 

– – Full-funding available for all SU Camps in NSW for anyone in need. Apply and register online! Read more at: sunsw.org.au/kids-to-camp. – –

Best ten days of my year

“Ten days on a Scripture Union Family Mission with my family each summer are the best ten days of my year.”

Up to 100% discounts available for those in need! To apply, just fill in a registration form for any SU Camp – on the second page, under 'Have you made, or do you wish to make, an application for Kids to Camp financial support?,' select 'Yes' from the dropdown menu, fill in the 'Kids to Camp' application form and finish completing your registration form, and someone will be in touch with you shortly!
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. Scripture Union NSW or the Camp Director will contact the emergency contact parent as soon as possible if outside medical attention is required and if there are any major incidents that occur.
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.
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.
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.
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 Camps involve Junior Leaders who will get right alongside your child throughout the week.
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.
