Church Getaway 2024

Fri 23rd - Sun 25th February

Cost & Pricing Details

Our Church Getaway Organising Team seeks to make the 'full camp experience' as accessible as possible. As a church, we also budget to subsidise Camp/Getaway costs. Much of our operating costs exist regardless of whether someone makes use of the accommodation provided or not. For these reasons, we are unable to offer a cheaper 'day-only' rate. 

2024 Ticket Prices:

• 0-4 Yrs Standard Rego: Free

• 5+ Yrs Standard Rego (includes accommodation if chosen): $40

• 5+ Yrs (Optional donation rate - represents approx. actual cost): $95

• Ensuite Room (See note below on booking an ensuite room): $170

• Sunday Lunch Only: $10

(Sunday Church Only is free and no rego required)

We don't want finances to hinder anyone from attending

• We seek to keep the standard camp registration cheaper than a one-day Perth Conference.

• For families registering 3 or more children who are 5+ years, please feel free to use the discount code FAMLY25 for a 25% discount.

• We are happy to offer other discounts where finances might prevent someone from attending - Please talk to Simon or Paul to organise a discount code. 

• If you're able to donate to help make those discounts available then please contact us.

Note on booking an ensuite room:

• Ticket sales for the four available rooms go on sale 8am Monday 22nd Jan.

• For couples & families, only one adult should book the ensuite ticket & other family members should use standard rego.

• e.g. John & Jane want an ensuite room: John registers with the ensuite ticket ($170) & Jane registers with the standard ticket ($40). John & Jane pay $210 and our planning team allocate them the room together.

What's the accomodation like?

The Baptist Campsite B is a very comfortable and well resourced venue. We've got access to the Dining Room, Meeting Hall, Oval, Tennis Court and the beach!

You will be allocated a room in the camp's dormitory-style 'Bunkhouses' with nearby bathroom block.

There are four ensuite rooms available under specific registration - ticket sale opening Monday 22nd Jan 8am.

We will attempt to allocate families in their own room and singles will be in shared single-sex rooms. Please note, depending on availability, couples and/or families may be required to share a room with others - But we'll communicate with you beforehand and seek to accomodate any preferences that you may have.

• Camping chair and/or picnic blanket (For Sunday church outside on the grass!)

• For Friday night: Your best getaway attire! 🌴 (e.g. bright Hawaiian shirt, etc.)

• Sheets (top and bottom must be used) & pillow

• Sleeping bag/blankets/doona

Just Joining for Church

Sunday 25th Feb at 9:45

For one Sunday only, BBC’s Sunday church gathering is relocated to be part of the whole camp. Also, there’s a slight time change - 9:45 start!

So if you can’t make it to the camp, please still join us for church! There’s no need to register for just church, however there is a $10 registration if you’d like to stay for lunch.

• Where: Baptist Campsite, Busselton, Campsite B, outside - on the lawn - See details above

• When: 9:45. Why not come at the usual time & enjoy a tea or coffee beforehand?

• Because we’re outside there’ll be no projector screen with song words, Bible readings, etc. On your mobile, click here for our online ‘service booklet’.

Got questions? - Call or email Simon.
