We understand that coming to camp can be a big thing, so we do everything we can to make you feel welcome. When you arrive you’ll be introduced to your cabin leaders – their role is to watch and care for you and help you get adjusted to camp life quickly. You will soon meet the other campers in your cabin and quickly make new friendships. On the first afternoon of camp we then begin playing some games. Very soon you’ll find yourself having fun and getting into the swing of camp life.

A sleeping bag, pillow slip, pyjamas, warm clothes, toiletries, 2 pairs of shoes – one pair that are good for sports and bush-walking, sun-screen, hat, torch, towel, your Bible, a notepad and pen, plus any medication you’ll need (this will be collected on arrival by the Camp Nurse).

Before camp we usually send you a letter, which may also mention a few specific things that you should bring to camp.

Mobile phones, iPods, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and any other dangerous items are not allowed at camp.

Each camp is different, and it depends upon what season it is (summer is different from winter). Some of our favourite activities include: trips to the beach, outdoors games, ball games in the gym, craft, walking up the mountain, swimming at the water-hole, rock-climbing, archery, movie night, concerts, night games, dancing, camp-fire + lots more.

Each camp we have a team of young, quality leaders to take care of the children. All leaders are committed Christians. They have been reference checked and trained in their specific role at camp. Leaders are up-to-date on child protection procedures and have completed the NSW Government Working with Children Check. On camp we also usually have a Camp Mum and Dad. They are experienced parents who can help any campers who are struggling with homesickness.

On camp we have at least 1 leader to every 5 campers. This means we have an exceptional standard of care and that campers are well looked after.

We make every effort to put you in the same cabin as your friends. On the application form please mention the names of the friends who you would like to room with. Please note that if you are accepted onto camp from the waiting list or just a day or 2 before camp, it will be harder for us to put you into a cabin with your friends.

At camp we have more than enough tasty food, so you won’t be hungry! We do though go on outings during the week, where campers will have an opportunity to buy a snack or an ice-cream. We suggest therefore that campers can bring a small amount of pocket money to camp. When you arrive we will put your money in a bag and lock-it away for safe-keeping until the day of the outing.

We’ve found that if you have your mobile phone on you, you will be missing out! You won’t be engaging in the camp activities, you’ll be distracted, and it will take away from the friendships you can have with the other campers on camp. For these reasons we don’t allow mobile phones on camp.

If you have any concerns or feedback regarding camps, please contact the Child Safety Officer: Bruce Marlin (0492 901 678) or via the contact page on this website.

Yes, Camp Kedron has a Child Safety Policy, and all of our leaders are trained in how to ensure the safety and well-being of all children while at camp.

Our Child Safety Officer is Bruce Marlin. Please feel free to contact him if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s safety at Camp Kedron (0492 901 678).

Camp Kedron runs 3 camps a year for young people with an intellectual disability. Life Exchange is a 4 day camp in the April School holidays for campers aged 15-21. Campers with a special need are buddied with another camper and have a great time doing activities, games, crafts and singing. Registrations for this camp open in early February. In June and November we also run a weekend camp called Life Exchange Plus for additional needs campers who are over 21 and too old for the Life Exchange camp. For both camps, campers must be able to take care of their own personal needs (showering, toileting) and be physically mobile to move around our site.

Camp Kedron is set on a hill so unfortunately wheelchair access is limited in areas. Use of a car is required for guests in a wheelchair to move between certain points because of the steepness of slopes. We realise this makes our site difficult for guests in wheelchairs. We ask that guests coming who will need wheelchair access or have restricted mobility to contact us prior to making a booking so we can best accommodate your needs.
