Connect and grow at our church camps across Australia

At The Great Aussie Bush Camp, we welcome faith groups of all sizes to step away from the everyday and create space for connection, reflection and shared adventure.

Whether it’s a small church youth group or a whole congregation, we’ve got the space and the setting to bring your community closer together. Our sites offer a genuinely peaceful, natural setting where communities can strengthen relationships and support spiritual growth.

If you’re planning a youth camp, church retreat or leadership weekend, we’ll help shape a program that fits, whether that’s outdoor adventure activities and team-building, worship and reflection, or a great mix of both. 

From an intimate Christian camp weekend to a lively gathering for community groups and school groups, our team knows how to make it work. 

Beyond camp, many of our locations are close to beautiful beaches, walking trails and scenic attractions, giving groups the chance to explore and enjoy the outdoors together during your stay.

Flexible options for your next church camp

We know shared experiences build stronger connections, so we’ve built our group camp options to flex around exactly what your church needs. Pick the level of support that suits you, and we’ll take care of the rest.

  • Full program: hand it all over to us! Enjoy comfortable accommodation, fully catered meals and an action-packed schedule of adventure activities, all tailored to your group’s goals, whether that’s building connection, growing leadership skills or building resilience.

  • Accommodation and catering: settle into our comfortable rooms and let our dining hall take care of every meal, so your group can focus fully on fellowship and your spiritual journey rather than the logistics.

  • Accommodation and activities: mix and match from our full range of adventure activities while running your own meals through our self-catering outdoor kitchen. A great middle ground for groups who want structure with a bit more independence.

  • Accommodation only: use our facilities as your base and run the retreat your way. Perfect for smaller groups, corporate groups or churches after a quiet, self-led getaway.

    Cosy accommodation

    Planning an intimate retreat for 30, or a big camp for over 300? Either way, we’ve got accommodation to match. Choose from cabins, dorms, stand-alone houses, or our permanent tents that keep everyone close to nature.

    Most rooms come with bunk beds, some with doubles, so all you need to bring is your own sheets, sleeping bag and pillow for a cosy night’s sleep. Simple, comfortable and ready, whether you’re hosting a big youth camp or a smaller, more intimate church retreat.

    Easy Booking, Zero Hassle

    If you’d like to chat through the options or have any questions, we’re happy to arrange an on-site tour or Zoom session to help plan your ideal camp.

    FAQs about our church camps

    What size groups can you host?

    We welcome faith groups of every size, from an intimate retreat for 30 through to a full camp of over 300 guests. Tell us your group size when you enquire and we’ll match you with the right site and accommodation mix.

    Can we handle our own catering instead of a fully catered stay?

    Absolutely. Our accommodation-only and accommodation-and-activities options both give you access to a self-catering kitchen, so your group can run meals however suits.

    What’s the difference between your camp options?

    You can mix and match camp options to suit your group. Our full program covers accommodation, fully catered meals and a tailored activity schedule from start to finish. The other options let you take on more yourself, from handling catering through to running a fully self-led stay using our facilities as your base.

    Do your sites have space for worship?

    Yes, many of our locations have private bush chapels and dedicated community spaces alongside our recreational halls, giving your group room for services, workshops and quiet reflection alongside the adventure.

    Are your camps suitable for youth groups as well as church groups?

    Definitely. Our sites suit youth camps, leadership weekends, school groups, and community groups just as well as church retreats, with every program shaped around the age and goals of the attending group.
