To adhere to NSW Government guidelines, Scripture Union NSW has taken the following steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Campers and volunteers.
  • All participants are encouraged to complete a Rapid Antigen Test, either at home or upon arrival. Anyone who is a close or household contact will be not be able to attend camp.
  • All participants' health will be monitored throughout camp.
  • If a participant develops any COVID-19 like symptoms while on camp, participants will be isolated and asked to complete a Rapid Antigen Test.  If positive, Parents/Carers will be contacted to collect their children.
  • Masks will be recommended during inside activities, with the exception of eating times.
  • SUNSW will keep records for all participants to enable contact tracing in the event of a participant having a positive test within 7 days of camp.
  • In the event of the camp needing to be cancelled due to COVID19 all participants will receive a full refund
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 into camp. The reason for this is that the camp activities have been planned with a specific age group in mind. However, exceptions can be made at the Director's discretion.
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.
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.
The coaches will lead skills and fitness drills, which will include an (optional) session on tackling technique. Games played will be similar to oz tag.
All levels of expertise will be welcomed and accommodated. There will be different stages of playing ability, each camper will be taught new skills and be challenged to improve their game. This camp is an ideal preparation for your upcoming season or a fun introduction to the game.
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.
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 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.
