Smiling on a boat.
Laughing with new friends.
Eating great food.
Connecting with great role models.
Trying something new.
Learning to work together.
Asking big questions about life and faith.
Growing in confidence.
Making memories that last long after camp ends.
As a dad, I love watching my own kids grow through CRU Camps. They come home tired, yet buzzing with stories. They talk of the leaders who encouraged them, the friends they made, the things they learnt about themselves and God, and all the fun they had!
CRU has been running holiday camps since the 1930s with generations of kids enjoying a vast array of activities (and even study!) and developing self-confidence and great relationships. Every year around 3,000 school students get involved.
Come and join us!
In a time when young people spend so much of life in digital spaces, CRU Camps offer a refreshing and powerful opportunity for children and youth to experience God’s creation alongside friends and leaders.
Whenever I visit camp, it brings me such joy to see campers trying new things, building friendships, and growing in confidence.
Having attended CRU Camps as a camper myself—and having led on more than 50 camps in both staff and volunteer roles—I’ve seen first-hand the incredible experiences campers have. Whether it’s water skiing behind a boat, climbing a rock wall, or simply sitting with someone new at dinner, CRU Camps help young people stretch themselves in new and exciting ways. And they do it all in the care of leaders who are deeply committed to seeing each camper thrive.
I hope that when your child returns home from a CRU Camp, you’ll get to hear all about the fun, growth, and memories they’ve made.
In Christ,
