At Galston Gorge
At Galston Gorge
Your son or daughter will have the week of their lives and get a great opportunity to make new friends and build self-confidence during their school holidays! They'll enjoy the experience of camp, with the chance to participate in exciting outdoor activities and explore a Christian worldview, whilst still going home to sleep in the comfort of their own bed.
Our Splash Tunnel is the centre of our amazing water games. Campers will get to slide down the 10m tunnel while being sprayed from all angles by water. That's not all, we'll also have 100s of water balloons to throw around and plenty of other ways to get wet and have a great time.
Campers in years 3-6 will get the opportunity to put their stealth to the test using our Laser Tag equipment. In teams, campers will work together and develop tactics to tag the opposition. Last person standing, wins. Though everyone will have fun.
Each day, campers will sing, play games and learn about the great God who loves them in our Christian Discovery sessions. Our trained Christian Leaders give campers an opportunity to learn about God in an open and trusting environment while having a lot of fun doing it.
Campers will have the opportunity to build their best with our brand new Stick-Lets activity. Working in teams, campers will use every part of their engineering ability to create structures as given to them by their leaders. They'll then be able to challenge themselves to build bigger, stronger and better than the other teams.
Spring Into Action takes full advantage of the wonderful site activities and bush environment at Galston Gorge. There's archery for campers in years 3-6 and outdoor and challenge course and Low Ropes for campers in years K-2. And everyone gets to take part in an awesome bushwalk in the bush surrounding our site. There's so much to experience on Spring Into Action!
Earn coins by competing in our carnival challenges and then spend those coins jumping to new heights on our jumping castle, or take on a new persona as a pirate or fairy with a new balloon sword or some of our excellent face painting!
Roll some dough onto a stick and hold it over the warm fire as we prepare and cook damper together while hearing about how damper was used in 19th century Australia. Then eat it along with some delicious golden syrup!

Energetic young adult Christian leaders care for and mentor your children throughout camp and are supported by high school Assistant Leaders who can get alongside your child to help them make the most of every opportunity. There will also be a number of CRU Day Camps staff on camp to ensure that every camper is looked after and that the program is of high quality.
To finish off our week, we'll watch a photo slideshow from camp and campers will be able to see what they can do after camp to keep in touch with others and have even more fun. What better way to cap off an unforgettable week than to relive the highlights of camp.
We believe that every child should have the same experience as part of one community on camp. You don't need to pay extra for your child to come on an excursion, all activities are included in the cost of camp. And we provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for all campers and leaders as sharing the same food together allows great conversations and bonds to be

Thank you for a wonderful CRU Day Camp experience this week. My 10 year old Isabelle absolutely loved it & couldn't wait to go everyday. Please pass on my thanks to all involved. She can't wait to go again next time. What a great ministry & blessing. Well done!
The primary children greatly enjoyed the week, their parents gave very positive feedback, the three way partnership between CRU, our local church volunteers and our school staff/student leaders was fantastic.
The leaders are nice, I've had lots of time with my friends and I don't think camp could be better!
I thought the camp was wonderful. The children seemed to absolutely love it and the vibe around the school and church after the camp has been extremely positive. Looking forward to running another one.
It was very exciting and there was a nice new activity every day. I loved it.
