Typical Camp Packlist

What to Bring

A few weeks before the start of your camp you will receive a camp specific information letter which includes what to bring, start and finish times, transport & emergency contact details and other important information. This letter can also be found on the webpage of the particular camp your child is attending.

Most CRU Campers will require the following general items:

  • Shorts & t-shirts
  • Jeans/long pants
  • Long sleeved shirt
  • Jumper
  • Swimmers & boardies
  • Beach and bath towel
  • Sleeping bag or doona
  • Pillow slip and/or pillow
  • Toiletries – soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush & toothpaste
  • Hat & sun screen
  • Water bottle
  • Raincoat
  • Insect repellent
  • Pyjamas & underwear
  • Multiple pairs of enclosed shoes & socks
  • Torch
  • Bible and pen
  • Theme night costume

Optional extras:

  • Fitted sheet
  • Small amount of money for vending machines, CRU merchandise or kiosk

Activity specific items:
Activities such as sailing, canoeing, water-skiing, dirt biking, horse riding, skiing/snowboarding will require more specific items. Please make sure you read your camp specific information letter carefully.

Please make sure everything is clearly marked with your child’s name and we recommend you don’t pack expensive items e.g mobile phones, digital cameras, iPods, laptops etc. The Crusader Union of Australia accepts no responsibility for personal property that your child brings to camp.

What not to bring:

Food containing nuts
Campers often have nut allergies/anaphylaxis. We ask that your child does not bring foods to camp that contain or are made using nuts.

Mobile Phones
Campers who wish to contact their parents may ask the director for permission to do so. We strongly recommended that campers do not bring their mobile phones as they can be intrusive, detrimental to building camp community and may exacerbate homesickness. You will be given the contact details for the Camp Director and we recommend that you contact your child via this method. Your child’s health and well being is our first priority. If they are finding camp difficult, or are not well, we will contact you at the first opportunity.

Drugs and Alcohol
CRU Camps do not permit the use of alcohol, non-prescribed drugs or smoking on camps. Anyone found in breach of this can expect to be sent home immediately.

My son had never been skiing before and CRU Camps offered a fun and safe environment for him to experience the snow.
