CRU Study Camps was the best study environment I had in Year 12.

— Ryan Betbeder, Year 12 Survivor and Data Science Student at UNSW

Stuff you can’t get at home… → Choose to study in a tranquil bushland or stunning lakeside setting → 35-45 hours of study per week* → Not your average study breaks (volleyball or netball comps may be involved!) → Old and new friends 24/7 (not exactly those hours but you get the point!) → The chance to swap notes & help fellow HSC or IB students → Assistance from experienced leaders in a variety of subjects → Exam simulation (you know you need it!) → Thought-provoking Christian talks and discussions to help you keep life in perspective → Delicious meals and snacks (no need to raid the back of the pantry!) → Coffee stations to keep the mind pumping → Great accommodation, dining and study facilities *On a typical 7 day study camp, a bit less for shorter camps.

My child loved it. He’s already asked to go again next holidays. He is more focused on his work and has an improved confidence in himself. He is now actually working towards his HSC, not just drifting.

of CRU Study Campers said they did more study on camp than they would have at home.*

Your child’s study taken care of.

CRU is proud to be Australia’s largest provider of study camps, with over 50 years of proven experience in helping Year 12 students achieve their HSC and IB study goals. We create the ideal study environment on our Study Camps so that your child can stay focused and feel confident about their exam preparation.

LESS DISTRACTIONS, MORE PRODUCTIVITY

TAILORED SUPPORT

Our Study Camps provide supervised study blocks with built-in breaks to maximise your child’s study during their school holidays. A set plan will help your child focus, develop better study habits and achieve more study than they may have at home, so that they are one step closer to accomplishing the results they want.

Your child will meet great, Christian camp leaders who will encourage and support them as they tackle the pressures of Year 12. Many of our leaders are uni students who share their own final year experience and use their current studies to help your child succeed.

GREAT VALUE

RESTORED PERSPECTIVE Year 12 requires balance and resilience. Free time activities on camp will refresh your child's brain and conversations exploring Christian faith will add perspective.

We work hard to offer high quality camps at great value. Study Camps include all accommodation, meals, activities and 24-hour supervision. All camps are tobacco, alcohol and drug-free environments.

Create a final year you’ll enjoy with

CRU Study Camps Psst. Your parents will want to see this side.

This is your year. Make it productive, make it fun.

Let’s make it happen, together!
