- Account: Make sure your mylyq account is set up and details are correct for you and your children. (See above tab for more details).
- Scholarship Application: If you are planning to apply for a scholarship, please make sure you read that section below before you book so you understand the process.

- Bus: Are you planning on putting your children on the bus to and/or from camp (if applicable to your event)? Refer to the ‘Transport’ flip card above to view the Bus Timetable and stops so you know what to select when you are completing your booking.
- Add-Ons/Excursions: Senior and Junior Blast camps have add-ons and excursions to choose from. Please check this section above and chat to your child (and maybe their friends attending) so you know which options they would like.

Using a Church / Organisational Subsidy Code
Church / Organisational 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 prior to booking for camp. If you have a code from your church or youth group, please enter this into your booking in the ‘Discount Management’ field.
If you are a church or organisation and would like to create a subsidy to help young people attend camp, please complete this form, or click here for more information.
IMPORTANT: Codes cannot be applied after registration process is complete (retrospectively).
Early Bird Discounts
Early Bird discount $45 per camper
The early bird discount is a date-based discount that will automatically apply to your cart if within the stated date-range. This and all eligible discounts and payments will be visible once you get to the ‘Booking Cart’
How do Family Discounts work?
Family Discount: Mark Grieshaber Legacy Fund
$60 per camper | Available to siblings living in the same household for events in the same Holiday Season (Winter, Spring, or Summer Seasons)
- If your family qualifies, the discount will automatically apply at checkout if your book them at the same time in the same cart.
- Please check the ‘Adding Multiple bookings’ tab below for more information.
- To view your bookings, check the ‘Booking Cart’ page before processing your payment.
- Please note that this discount cannot be applied retrospectively once the booking has been confirmed.
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.
How to add multiple bookings to your cart
You can add multiple bookings for multiple camps within a season (e.g. winter, spring or summer holiday camps) to your cart. If you have multiple people you are booking from your family, please ensure to add all the bookings to your cart before going to the check out and processing your payment. This ensures appropriate discounts can be applied (e.g. family discount). To add another booking to your cart, select the button on the bottom right of the screen ‘Add Another Booking’.
Do LYQ offer payment plans?
LYQ have ceased the payment plan option going forward.
To keep our registration process simple and fair for everyone, LYQ has transitioned away from payment plans and now requires full payment upfront. You can choose to pay by credit or debit card using Stripe, or to request an invoice at Checkout.
There are no spaces left to book my child into an event - do you have a waitlist?
We keep our leader-to-camper ratios low so our holiday camps focus on real relationships rather than basic supervision.
Why Camps Fill Fast
- Limited spots: We only open places based on our confirmed volunteer leaders.
- Openings: Spaces may open up if new leaders sign up or if someone cancels before registration closes.
Join the Waitlist
- Sign up: Add your child to our nominations list if a camp is full.
- Get notified: We will email you before opening new spaces so you can book right away.
- No holds: We cannot save or reserve spots.
