Fishing Camp

Fishing Camp

You are invited to this brand new Freshwater Fishing Camp for Boys in years 6 to 11, on the beautiful Windamere Dam 22km’s from Mudgee.

The fishing is great this time of year so we are hoping / praying for a great catch. We will be sleeping under supplied canvass however the campsite has flushing toilets, hot showers and amazing camp food so it will be more like glamping rather than camping.

We have 4 small fishing boats and experienced leaders who will share with you some fishing tips plus introduce you to Jesus, the great fisher of men !! You can bring your own fishing gear but if you don’t have any, don’t worry we will have plenty to share !!

 

There is little doubt we will be sharing yarns & testimonies around the camp fire at night and having heaps of fun getting to know each other, so don’t hesitate to invite a friend as this year numbers will be limited as we get this new camp up and running, so why not sign up and get bragging rights of being involved in the first SU Fishing camp on Lake Windamere, hope to see you there !!!! 

– – Full-funding available for all SU Camps in NSW for anyone in drought-affected, drought and intense drought areas. 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.”

Glenn Coombs, current Interim state director who has been involved with the ministry of Scripture Union NSW since 1986. Glenn is passionate about seeing young people discover God’s plan for their lives in a fun and friendly environment like SU camps. This particular camp is especially close to Glenn’s heart as he directs it with his son Michael.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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 committed Christian leaders are referenced-checked, trained in child protection procedures and have completed government child protection requirements.
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.

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.
