To adhere to NSW Government guidelines, Scripture Union NSW has taken the following steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Campers and volunteers.

• Reduced number of participants, both campers and volunteers.
• All participants will be screened upon arrival at camp, including temperature checks. Anyone who has been unwell, or in a hotspot will be excluded.
• All participants' health will be monitored throughout camp.
• Strict plans in place should cold/ flu symptons be present, as per NSW schools. Parents will be notified of these plans ahead of camp.
• Sleeping and dining arrangements are adjusted to maintain appropriate social distancing between participants.
• Each Camp will have a dedicated COVID wardens overseeing cleaning and hygiene.
• No visitors will be allowed to enter camp sites.
• SUNSW will keep records for all participants to enable contract tracing in the event of a participant having a positive test within 14 days of camp.
• In the event of the camp needing to be cancelled due to COVID19 all participants will receive a full refund

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.

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

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.

Full-funding is available for all SU Camps, for anyone from drought-affected areas.
Other discounts available.
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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
