Christian Life Week (CLW) is a five-day camp for high school aged students that is centred on an unforgettable experience of faith, friendship, and fun. CLW is a chance for teenagers to escape the everyday, have a stack of good clean fun and discover more about what it means to be a Christian.

Leaders
Every camp has a directorship team, and a balanced team of male and female leaders. All leaders must complete a thorough application process. They are passionate about creating a high-quality camp experience and are trained to ensure it is a safe and fun experience. Many of our leaders have experienced what a life-changing difference these camps make as a camper and want to come back to serve the next generation!
Director Profiles
Kinesi
OH HEY! So stoked to be here.
My name’s Kinesi but you’re welcome to call me NES!
I am the Cultural Support Officer and Pastoral Carer at Peace Lutheran College Cairns on Djabugay country. My role consists of enhancing and providing great care for our cultural students within day school and our boarding facility.
I am a proud Fijian woman who was raised on Gubbi Gubbi Country (Moreton Bay Region) since migrating to Australia from New Zealand.
I love the Lord deeply and have been actively serving within the local church throughout the years. I have found my home church since moving up to FNQ at Royals Church Cairns, where I’ve had the privilege to serve within youth ministry.
I love people, community, culture, family and food. You’ll catch me playing netball & touch footy during my down time or sitting at a local cafe whilst engaging in quality conversations. I’ve also entered into my ‘Word-Search’ Era, and I take it VERY seriously. hehe.
I am a HUGE advocate for youth. I am compelled by the calling to serve our younger generation and stand in the gap for those that feel unheard, unseen and are desperately desiring family.
I believe that the young people are our future, and with some TLC (tender love and care) from a foundation of FAITH we can be a witness to a generation of sincere, courageous, compassionate and faith filled people.
Cannot wait to see what’s in store for our FNQ family & am ready to see what the Lord is wanting to do. LESH-GO.

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.

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 campers 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.
