Whether you’re an experienced skier or snowboarder, or dreaming of seeing snow for the first time, these camps are for you. Suit up and enjoy chasing powder down black runs or cruising on beginner slopes! You’ll receive skill-appropriate lessons from the Perisher instructors every morning, before hitting the lifts with our leaders for the rest of the day. After a day of activities, give your legs a break back at our comfy lodge while you warm up with hot chocolate, tasty homecooked meals, chilled night games and hearing about God, the Creator of the slopes and snow!

Join us for an epic week on the slopes!

ADOPT A CAMPER We want to give every child the opportunity to enjoy the CRU Camp experience.

This is why a CRU Camper Sponsorship Fund exists to offer partial sponsorship to children who may miss out on camp due to financial constraints.

Samantha~, 12-year-old sponsored camper, shares, “Camp was encouraging and fun. I loved the experiences! I got to meet other Christians on camp and the leaders helped me see a new perspective on Christianity.”

How can you help? Please give generously to the CRU Camper Sponsorship Fund: www.cru.edu.au/adoptacamper ~
