Kids Camp is an amazing camp for children in grades 3 – 6 to learn more about God, make new friends, grow in confidence and have a lot of fun playing amazing games.
Winter Kids ‘MINI’ Camp 2024
Kids Camp is a three-day adventure for children in grades 3-6. The Kids Camp program is a beautiful mix of learning about God, spending time outdoors and enjoying games with friends… lots of good clean fun and laughter!
Every morning we’ll spend time in worship and learning about God and then in the afternoons we’ll take advantage of the wide open spaces at camp to play some epic games!
One of the highlights of Kids Camp is the food. Our professional chefs put on some spectacular camp food - its healthy, yummy and there is heaps of it! They’re also experts on special diet needs so everyone is looked after.
Other Details
Bus Transport
Due to low interest in bus transport in previous years, we aren’t currently planning bus transport for this camp. If there is enough interest to make a bus run viable we are happy to look into it. Please contact us on 3511 4080 if you are interested in bus transport.
Subsidies
Church subsidy
Some churches have registered with LYQ to obtain a code to provide subsidy to their young people. Please chat to your pastor/youth leader about a subsidy code and amount. If you work for a church and would like to create a subsidy to help young people attend camp, contact us on 3511 4080 or office@lyq.org.au.
Payment Plan
We are more than happy to help make coming to camp a reality. Please contact us to talk about your personal situation and organise a payment plan. To secure your booking, we do ask that an initial 10 percent deposit is made at the time of booking.
Lutheran Women of Queensland
Thanks to the generous grant from the Lutheran Women of Queensland to support our camping ministry, LYQ can provide financial assistance to eligible individuals to attend a Lutheran Youth of Queensland camp.
People will be eligible for assistance if they:
- are unable to pay full camp registration fees and
- are in grades 3-6 and therefore eligible to attend a LYQ ‘Kid’ Camp’ (Please note that this funding is not accessible for Junior Blast camp.)
Mark Grieshaber Legacy Fund
In 2018 we were blessed to receive a generous bequest from Mark Grieshaber. Mark (Greezy) Grieshaber was an active part of the Lutheran Youth of Queensland community for over three decades until his death in late 2017. Mark involvement started as a participant at our events but mostly he was involved as a volunteer leader for our holiday camps, particularly serving as our camp bus driver. Mark’s passion to support young people meant he often attended multiple events every year and although Mark’s involvement goes beyond our archived records, we know he attended more than 130 different events! Those of us who were blessed to serve alongside Mark will remember his selfless leadership and care for others, and his passionate worship singing!
In consultation with Mark’s family, we’re thrilled to be able to use Mark’s generous legacy to offer a $60 sibling discount for our holiday camps. Mark had a deep passion for youth ministry and dedicated many voluntary hours to leading on camp and transporting campers to, from and during camp. It is therefore fitting that we use his generous gift to offer a sibling discount that effectively gives families with multiple camper’s free bus transport to and from camp.
Commitment to Child Safety
Lutheran Youth of Queensland is committed to child safety and our practices are guided by the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and Queensland’s Eight Mandatory Requirements. We have zero tolerance for child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns are taken seriously and responded to according to our policies and procedures. This includes a child centered approach to responding to incidents and allegations, and the reporting of concerns, not matter how small, to the relevant authorities. We ask that you support us in this by highlighting ways that we can improve our practice and by reporting any concerns you might have to the relevant authorities.We have some awesome t-shirts, hoodies and caps available for purchase.
