Safety & Care
Safety and care are key focuses for our camps. On our LYQ Camps, 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.
“This camp has left me coming home feeling spiritually refreshed. Being able to pour out into the next generation and seeing them engage in learning more about God is so encouraging. It was an honour to be apart of” CLW Coolum B Leader 2024
Introducing your Camp Directors
Aiden Ericksson
Hi, I’m Aiden, one of your CLW Coolum B directors. With Corinne and the team, we’re planning a truly fantastic camp that’s fantastic AND fabulous with a sprinkle of, as the Oxford dictionary calls it, excellence and indescribable wonder. How cool.
It is a priviledge to direct this camp. It’s been ten years been part of the CLW community, and so I understand how affirming, transformational, and joyous it can be. My prayer is for camp to be impactful and inspiring, and where all leave knowing God a little more.
I am currently studying a Bachelors of Psychology and Social Work, with the intention of being a school counsellor. I have a deep commitment to pastoral care, especially to young people. I love music, hiking, urban design, and current affairs (I am cool, I promise). On Sundays you’ll find me worshipping at Our Saviour Lutheran Church (Rochedale)
I am so keen for camp!
Corinne Stewart
Hello! My name is Corinne and I am one of the Directors for CLW Coolum B.
I am excited to be directing this camp alongside a team of enthusiastic and passionate leaders who want to impact the next generation. I have been involved in youth and children’s ministry at Our Saviour Lutheran Church as well as Forest Lake Baptist church.
I have over 15 years’ experience of being involved in creating meaningful and fun activities and programs for youth. I am a primary school teacher who brings many skills to the camping ministry and can not wait to meet the campers.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy watching AFL, relaxing with my friends and family and being in nature.
I am excited for CLW Coolum B 2025!

Mark Grieshaber Legacy Fund
Available to siblings living in the same household for events in the same Holiday Season (Winter, Spring, or Summer Seasons)| $60 per camper | If your family qualifies, the discount will automatically apply at checkout.
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.
