WHY CRU?
1. Because CRU Camps are the largest provider of Christian holiday Camps in New South Wales.
Since
1930 we have been providing thousands of young people with safe and fun
camping experiences in an environment where they are cared for,
accepted and encouraged to grow, share and learn.
2. Because CRU Camps are a community created exclusively for young people.
Each
year we welcome over 3000 campers in Years K-12 onto a CRU Camp from a wide variety of backgrounds, schools and
religious beliefs. With over 60 CRU Camps on offer each year, campers
are given the chance to not only try new and exciting activities that
they can’t do every day, but to make life-long friends within
an environment where they can relax and be themselves. It’s
little wonder that 95% want to come back each year
for more!
3. Because we have over 80 years of experience.
CRU Camps is a division of the Crusader Union of Australia, a not-for-profit interdenominational Bible-based
Christian youth organisation. Founded in 1930, CRU Camps has an exemplary safety record. We are
committed to providing campers with the highest standard of standards of quality and excellence
in all activities offered. Our leader to camper ratio of 1:5 not only
ensures a high supervision level for safety of activities, but also
encourages a sense of close community and the chance for campers to be positively influenced by our leaders who are excellent role models.
4. Because the need for Christian camps has never been more relevant.
We understand
the needs and desires of ‘Gen Y and Z’ and our
camps are specifically tailored just for them! We know that they hunger
for extreme experiences, authentic relationships and a chance to see if
something ‘works’ not just be told that it’s
true. In light of this, CRU Camps endeavor to provide all campers with a
camp experience where they can build meaningful friendships, see
‘real’ Christian leaders live out what they
believe, and have heaps of fun - without the need for drugs and alcohol.
