Summer School has activities for everyone!

Waterslide

What do you get when you combine a hill, plastic sheets, detergent shampoo, and water? An epic waterslide! Bring your swimmers, sunscreen and towel and join the young and young-at-heart on Saturday afternoon.

Ultimate tree climb

Children aged 9+ can take the challenge of the Vertec Adventure Ultimate Tree Climb on Monday afternoon. If racing against a friend up a 28-metre tree using a knotted rope sounds like fun, then register your interest when you book.

Afternoon exploration and electives

You will have the opportunity to explore the local sights with friends and family, or sit in on an elective.

Annual Summer School Volleyball Championship

It’s on again! Start your training and pull a team together for this fun event for the whole family on Monday afternoon.

Bookshop

Books and resources about mission, Christian living, ministry and more. Purchase something to read in the sunshine in your free time.

Children & Youth

Children aged from Creche to Grade 12 should come to Summer School!

WHY?

Age-specific programs are designed to ignite interest in mission and encourage interaction with the Bible, all while having fun with new and old friends. Young people will enjoy food, games, friends, learning, chill time, staying up late (sorry parents!) a giant plastic-sheet waterslide, and an option to take on a ‘thrill’ challenge (for higher grades). Add to this a focus on following Jesus and understanding world mission, and you will find the program builds beautifully on the Biblical teaching you are doing at home.

All children aged 3+ will meet missionaries, hear about their unique lives and have the opportunity to interact with them and understand how all Christians can be active in world mission.

Mornings

Age-appropriate Bible teaching, small group discussions and games.

Afternoons

Free time to spend with family, exploring local attractions, playing with new friends or attending electives with parents.

Evenings

Indoor and outdoor activities aimed for maximum fun and friendship.

Many leaders have grown up attending Summer School and can’t wait to share their passion for Jesus and missions. All leaders have Working with Children checks and have completed safe ministry training.

Has the cost of coming to Summer School increased?

The increase in cost was a difficult but necessary decision for CMS to make due to the increase in costs from suppliers across the board. CMS has tried its best to minimise the on charge of price increase to our supporters.

If you want to come to Summer School and are experiencing financial difficulties, please indicate that on the registration (we have a section about Receiving help) or please reach out to CMS by phone on 07 3171 3020 or email qnnsw@cms.org.au. We would love to see how we can help.

Is there mobile reception?

Mobile reception is patchy. Any urgent emails for guests may be sent to qnnsw@cms.org.au
This will be checked intermittently during the day. However, we cannot guarantee we are able to pass on any messages.

Can I bring a pet?

Pets are not allowed. Only assistance dogs are allowed. Please indicate you are bringing an assistance dog to Summer School on the registration. We require a copy of the current handler identification card showing the details of the handler and the dog.

I have food allergies, how will they be catered for?

As part of the booking process, you will be asked about the allergies you have. There is a range of different diet options. If your allergy requires that you carry an Epi-pen, you will be asked to email CMS QNNSW a copy of your ASCIA plan. For people staying at WEC and CMS there is a ‘No nuts’ policy.

What happens if I am unwell at Summer School?  Covid symptoms in the lead-up to Summer School?

If you become unwell at Summer School and could be contagious, please consider not attending the main Summer School program and wear a mask.
