About
We believe God reveals Himself through creation and supremely through His Son, Jesus Christ, as made known in the Scriptures. Awe is a fitting response to His greatness. Whether stirred by the beauty of creation, God's holiness, or Jesus' sacrificial love, we pray that God would use these moments to deepen faith, awaken curiosity, and draw people to worship Him.
Our getaways create space to slow down, step away from life's distractions, and reflect together on what matters most. Through shared adventure, meaningful conversations, and time in God's creation, families reconnect with one another and are encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus—or explore the Christian faith for the first time.
These experiences foster lasting memories and spiritual conversations that continue well beyond the weekend, strengthening families in everyday life and faith.
Ministry
Whether your goal is to encourage believers, welcome those exploring faith, or simply create space for your church or school community to connect, we're here to support your ministry.
You can make the getaway your own. Lead the Bible teaching yourself, invite a guest speaker, or ask our team to facilitate sessions—we'll gladly adapt to your vision for your community.
Whatever your approach, we provide a Christ-centred environment where relationships flourish, conversations happen naturally, and every moment can be used for God's glory.
Inclusions
Every Getaway is designed to lighten the load. Led by qualified Christian guides, each experience includes quality accommodation, fully catered meals, camping equipment, outdoor activities, transport, and comprehensive safety management. Your own leaders are welcome to join—or simply let us take care of it.
We'll also manage registrations through a private event page, handling communications, payments, and medical information, so you can focus on your people and the ministry.
Working within a tighter budget? We'd be happy to tailor a Getaway to suit your needs.
Programs
Our getaways are designed to take the hard work out of running a ministry trip. We take care of the planning and logistics—from quality accommodation and fully catered meals to camping equipment, activities, safety management, and experienced leaders—so you can focus on your people.
Choose a from our established Parent Child paddling getaways, a family getaway at one of our centres, or custom experiences further afield—from Kosciuszko and K'gari (Fraser Island) to the Red Centre.
