Camps
At Baptist Youth, we believe there is something special about camps. Having the opportunity to spend a whole week learning from God's Word, connecting with new friends, and having A LOT of fun - there is no doubt that Camps change lives!
FANCY COMING TO CAMP?
Each year, we have hundreds of young people attending one of the wide variety of BY camps on offer. Whether you are 8 years old, 18 years old, or even 68 years old, you can be involved in our camp experience! Generally speaking, we have 2 types of camp. Firstly we have Childrens Camp - this is for anyone from P4-P7. Secondly, we have Youth Camps, these are for young people from Year 8 - Year 12.

OVER 18? WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
Behind every great camp is a great team of volunteers. These volunteers are from all walks of life. The one thing that unites each of our volunteers, however, is that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A rigorous process of application in line with BY’s child protection policy is undertaken for all our officers on our camps (copies of the policy are available by contacting Baptist Youth).
