I went on my first CRU Camp not knowing anyone, but met so many new people. I’ve felt supported and encouraged by my leaders and I loved how we learnt more about God every single day.

r e p m a C

- Finn, 15 years old

Finn’s mum Kylie is a single mum with four kids and experiences significant financial constraints. Kylie explains, “Finn would not have been able to attend a CRU Camp without the help of the CRU Camper Sponsorship Fund.”

The Camper Sponsorship Fund helps minimise camp fees for those families who would love to send their kids to camp but are struggling with illness, hardship, or financial difficulty.

Kylie shares, “When Finn came back from camp he would try to re-tell each Bible talk, showing

how much he had learnt. He has even decided to commit to serving at youth group and church!”

Finn says, “I’m so thankful to have had the chance to go on a camp. It’s unbelieveable to know that someone would give money so that someone else could have an incredible camp experience.”

You can give a young person, like Finn, the opportunity to experience camp these school holidays. Please give generously: www.crusaders.edu.au/adoptacamper

T u o B ACRu ®

With nearly 90 years of experience, CRU® Camps is the largest provider of Christian holiday camps in NSW, welcoming around 4,000 campers a year on over 80 camps.

On a CRU® Activity camp, your child will: • • • • • • •

Feel safe and cared for Make stacks of new friends Be encouraged by friendly Christian leaders Grow in self confidence Explore the Christian faith Participate in loads of exciting outdoor activities Create unforgettable memories EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS Our dedicated teams of Christian leaders care for campers 24 hours a day. They are trained in child protection procedures, reference-checked and screened in accordance with government legislation. Their love for God and young people makes them brilliant role models. Each camp has a ratio of at least 1 leader to every 5 campers, with at least 2 leaders with First Aid qualifications to ensure that each camper receives an exceptional level of care. Most primary-age camps also have a camp ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ to care for the emotional needs of young campers.

ENCOURAGING ENVIRONMENT Our nurturing camp environment is one where your child will feel accepted, cared for and encouraged. Through activities, leaders help your child develop teamwork, cooperation and communication skills whilst also challenging them to step out of their comfort zone to achieve new things. Meals, discussion times, and the encouraging camp environment enable campers to leave camp having grown in confidence, character, and social skills. Our camps are alcohol, tobacco and drug-free.

GREAT VALUE We work hard to offer quality programs at the lowest possible price.

This season our early bird camp fees start from just $40 a day for Day Camps. Residential Camps start from $110 per night which includes all activities, meals, accommodation, and 24-hour supervision, plus transport for most activity camps.

A sponsorship fund exists to help families send their children on camp. Visit www.crucamps.com.au/sponsorship to apply.

Snow Mania 2019 will be going off once again this year! Whether you’re an experienced skier or snowboarder, or dreaming of seeing snow for the first time, this will be a week you’ll always remember!

With daily lessons from awesome Thredbo instructors, you will sharpen your skills and be prepared to tackle the slopes! In the afternoons, you’ll spend time with new friends and fun leaders as you carve up the powder and warm up with a hot chocolate or two. The fun will continue into the evenings with crazy games in the train carriages and the chance to learn about the Creator of the slopes and snow! This is one week of mega snow action you cannot miss. Grab your friends and register now!

Director: Thomas Groves Thomas will be directing again this year and is super keen for a great year on the slopes. He is currently working as a music teacher at Norwest Christian College and is part of Dural Baptist.

Due to the distance from home and very tiring physical nature of the activities, we recommend that Snow Mania is not your child’s first ever residential/overnight camp.

Whether you’re chasing powder down black runs or cruising on beginner slopes, this camp is for you! If you’re skiing or boarding, daily lessons every morning from the Thredbo Pros will help you tackle the mountain. When the afternoon comes around, there will be something for everybody. Choose to keep skiing the slopes with awesome leaders and new friends, or hit up the terrain park, or simply warm up at the café with hot chocolate and delicious donuts! After a day of activities, give your legs a break back at our comfy lodge whilst enjoying tasty home-cooked meals, crazy night activities and chats about our God’s answers to life’s big questions.

Camp doesn’t get better than this! Sign up now and join us for one epic week shredding up the snow!

Directors: Dave & Holly Ramsay Holly and Dave attend St Faith’s Anglican Church Narrabeen, where Holly works as a ministry apprentice. Dave is a high school teacher. They both love the snow, have been racing down slopes for many years and can’t wait to carve it up with you this July!

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or are a seasoned pro, our instructors will be on hand to tune your skills! Afternoons will see us putting our lessons into use, on everything from terrain parks to colossal hills and playing mad snow games. At night we will head back to base to chill with new friends, hear about the God who made everything, eat delicious food, relax with a movie night and have a great time around the campfire. Get set for a mammoth week! Don’t miss out on your chance to be King or Queen of the Mountain in our massive snowball fight...register now!

For the past 5 years, he has been working for Youthworks as an Outdoor Ministry Leader for their Christian Outdoor Education division.

Stay in a chalet at the top of Mt Hotham and have the best ski week of your life! Whether you are new to the snow or a long-time shredder, Hotham is the place for crazy snow adventures. Ski or board down double black runs, cruise down the gentle summit run or everything in-between. After morning lessons catered to your ability, you will hit the slopes, carve up some powder on the terrain parks or enjoy a hot chocolate at the top of the mountain with new friends.
