CAMP CHALLENGE
A Christian family camp filled with fun, fellowship, faith, learning and friendship!
Camp Information
Camp Challenge is an annual family church camp nestled deep in the heart of the Blue Mountains, where fun, faith, and fellowship come together memorably. In 2026, we’re returning to the much-loved Blue Gum Lodge, a stunning campsite surrounded by nature and full of exciting facilities.
Camp runs from the afternoon of Monday, December 28th, 2026, through to Friday, January 1st, 2027, with four nights of adventure, community, and spiritual growth. Blue Gum Lodge offers everything from a dining hall, pool, massive indoor soccer/basketball court, volleyball and tennis courts, giant chess, games room, swinging chairs, a fire pit, cozy cabins, clean bathrooms, bush walks, comfy lounges, and much more. For more about the venue, check out the Blue Gum Lodge website here.
- Camp starts: From 3 pm on Monday, 28th December. The first official event is dinner at 6 pm, so come anytime between 3 and 6 pm to register and settle into your room!
- Camp ends: Around 9 am on Friday, 1st January, after breakfast and a farewell message!
- Camp Address: Blue Gum Lodge, 6 Fels Ave, Springwood NSW 2777.
One limitation: the campsite can only host 100 campers. While we wish we could accommodate everyone, it has been challenging to find a larger site that’s both available and suitable. So, for 2026, we’ll need to prioritise full-time campers. We’re still praying and exploring larger options for the future years.
