This camp will be a fantastic opportunity for people within our church family to connect, grow and create unforgettable memories together against the backdrop of Deer Park’s breathtaking waterfront surroundings. 

Where?

Youthworks Deer Park (Port Hacking Conference Centre)

168 Rathane Road, Royal National Park NSW 2232

Absolute waterfront would almost be an understatement, with Deer Park’s dining room sitting right above the southern shore of the Port Hacking River in the stunning Royal National Park, about an hour’s drive south of Parramatta.

When?

Friday 11th September to Sunday 13th September, 2025

Check-in from 6pm on Friday. Check-out by 2pm Sunday.

All meals and activities included from supper on Friday to lunch on Sunday.

Optional welcome dinner on Friday for a small additional fee. Details will be shared with registered guests closer to the time.

What will we be doing?

Our theme for camp this year is “Centered Together”.

We’ll be shaping the weekend as a retreat-style, spacious experience where we can slow down and lean into what it means to be centered on Christ in community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make memories and connect deeply across all ages, life stages, and the three congregations at PBC.

What to expect

• Relaxed pace with plenty of time for connection and rest
• All-ages worship, including the much-loved song-request worship jam
• Fun activities like games, challenges, and the Deer Park waterslide
• Time outdoors—bushwalking, fishing, or simply enjoying the surroundings
• Unhurried space for spiritual encouragement and meaningful connection

What’s new this year

• We’re planning a few more structured free-time options
• A special Communion experience as the focal point of the weekend on Saturday
• Engagement stations—simple, reflective spaces to connect with Jesus and one another

The weekend will be anchored by four main sessions, alongside two dedicated kids program sessions, all-ages worship, an exciting Saturday evening “Mystery Challenge” session, and plenty of opportunities to relax together during free time and around the campfire.

Accommodation

• 26 recently renovated rooms all have private ensuite bathrooms.
• Accessible rooms available for guests with mobility issues.
• Bunk-bed configuration (one double bed per room).
• Regular rooms sleep 4-6 (3 single bunk beds, one double and one roll-out trundle).
• Larger rooms sleep 6-8 (5 single bunk beds, one double, and one roll-out trundle).

Parents with children under 18 and other family members as requested will be housed in family rooms.

Married couples with no accompanying children may nominate other couples they would be comfortable to room share with.

Singles 18+ may nominate other same sex singles they would be happy to room share with.

Please understand that whilst we will do our best to accommodate your preferences, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make it work.

How much will it cost?

Due to increased venue and program costs, camp prices have increased by approximately $10-15 per person this year. We’ve worked to keep the increase as modest as possible while ensuring we can cover essential camp expenses and maintain a quality experience for everyone.

Prices below are for the full two-night catered stay.

Day visitor registration is for 9am-5pm on Saturday (registration includes morning/afternoon tea and lunch), with an additional $15 fee if you wish to stay for dinner and the evening activities (highly recommended…it’s going to be fun!!)
