Blast is back again this year for the 11th year running! Campers are invited to join us on the ultimate adventure, challenging themselves through high adventure activities and problem-solving games in teams. Whether it’s stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new, making new friends, or spending time in the great outdoors, Blast is the place where campers can learn something new about themselves and about God.

“Camp was so much fun, highlight of my year I love you!” – Senior Blast Camper 2023

 Book your children in for an incredible week away and get them to start inviting friends to join in the fun with them! We’d love them to come and hang out with amazing Christian leaders, bring old friends and make new friends, all while discovering God together!

“I’ve grown a lot with making friends with some of the leaders really helped me grow emotionally and socially. At first I was like a small scared snail but being friends with [a leader] made me slowly come out of my shell.” Senior Blast Camper 2023

Blast will run simultaneously with Junior Blast, allowing parents with multiple children of different ages to send them all along together to the same fabulous campsite with similar epic activities! Family discounts are also available (check out the Financial Support tab at the bottom of this page for more information)!

Safety & Care

Safety and care are key focuses for our camps. On Blast we’ll be caring for campers by ensuring that;

  • Campers enjoy professionally catered meals so that food is yummy and meets any dietary needs.
  • Every leader has completed a stringent application and training process and has an active Blue Card (working with children check).
  • Every camp activity is risk assessed and managed.

Blast is for everyone!

It is the perfect opportunity to have an action packed week! Every year we welcome young people on camp from a variety of backgrounds. Whilst there is a faith element to every LYQ camp, we always welcome everyone to join in. Find out more about faith at LYQ camps.

What to expect:

Blast camps are packed full of adventure activities, beach, and games. This year, campers are also able to choose between a trip to Aussie World, Bli Bli Water Park for some Aqua Park action, or Next Level High ropes. Activity selection is made during camp booking and number limits apply, so book in quickly to lock in your choice of activity… then strap in for some wild fun on Blast camps!

Where are our Summer Camps?

Each summer we run camps in the school holidays for teenagers (Grades 7 – 11) and also for younger kids (Grades 3 – 6). Each of these camps are held at our beautiful Luther Heights campsite at Coolum Beach. Whether you’re looking for some pre-Christmas fun in December or to end your holidays on a high in January there is plenty to choose from. What a perfect way to spend your summer break.

Bring your siblings!

If you have younger children who would also like to spend a week of their holidays having some epic fun, check out Junior Blast running simultaneously to Blast for Grades 3-6! You will also qualify for the ‘Family Discount’ of $60 per camper for siblings living in the same household.

LYQ Leaders – Volunteer with us!

We have an amazing bunch of leaders who volunteer their time to make sure that every camp is a bundle of fun and a great experience. All of our leaders complete an extensive application and training process prior to being selected. 

To all of the amazing, kind, funny, and super talented leaders THANK YOU! Camp would not be what it is without you. The level of enthusiasm and care you all bring to camp, and the impact you have on the campers, cannot be under stated.
