Pins & Needles Camp
Each girl will complete hand and machine made items while at camp as well as useful sewing hints. All of this takes place with female leaders who care about young girls learning to sew, learning about the love of God and reading God's Word the Bible.
The accommodation is in classrooms where the girls will sleep in sleeping bags but will also need to bring a stretcher or air bed and be fed with delicious food.
The camp will also include various activities and outdoor games. Register now to be part of the fun!

Directors' Details
Can I invite my friends?
Yes, just tell them to register online or contact the Camp Director for any further information.
Can you take care of my child’s special medical requirements?
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.
Do you cater for children with special dietary requirements?
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.
How are medical incidents dealt with on 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.
How many leaders are on each camp?
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 Safe Ministry.
Is financial assistance available?
Financial assistance may be available for those in hardship!
To apply, please email [email protected] and someone will be in touch with you shortly! Also, continue to complete the registration form & choose the "Pay Later" option
What does my child need to take on camp?
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.
What is the Christian component of the camps?
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.
Who looks after the campers?
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.
Will it be safe?
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.
