SCRIPTURE UNION AUSTRALIA EVENTS

Every year, over 1,500 SU Australia volunteers run 100 camps across the state. Our camps provide 4500 children and teenagers with a fun-filled, positive time away from home. We aim to provide a quality holiday program, meeting the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of each participant. Every camp sets aside a time for faith discussions, where participants have a chance to explore the claims of the Christian Faith and ponder the bigger questions about life
