General Camp Info
The Scripture Union ACT camping program is all about empowering children and young people to become the best people they can be. Challenging them physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually, campers are assisted and encouraged to step outside themselves and their comfort zones to explore a world of possibilities and purpose. Long lasting friendships are forged, memories are formed, and self-development is realized.
All camps have sessions that explore the Christian faith in an interactive and discussion-filled environment in order to give them the opportunity to come to their own conclusions and make decisions accordingly. No knowledge of belief is assumed.
SU ACT works together with churches in the Canberra region to run camps. The leaders who direct and provide guidance on SU camps are committed Christians who volunteer their time and pay to attend. Each leader is screened and trained under the nationally recognised ChildSafe Safety Management System. We strive for our camps to be high quality and for each camper to get the encouragement and care they need. Emerging leaders, aged between 15-17 years, are also given the opportunity to practice their leadership skills on primary aged camps as junior leaders under the mentorship of experienced camp leaders.
SUACT aims to make the camps as affordable as possible; keeping costs to a minimum, while still giving campers the chance to encounter new experiences and develop new skills. We offer family discounts to siblings from the same household attending camps in the same week. We have supported places available for those who struggle to afford the fees. Please contact us for more information.
For more information please email us at camps@suact.org.au or call Ali on 0476 000 193 or Amy on 0458 003 697.
We carefully screen and train all our leaders and take child safety very seriously. For more details on the ChildSafe practices we uphold please go to https://suact.org.au/childsafe/
