CRU HOLIDAY CAMPS

Each year more than 2,400 kids attend CRU holiday camps. They are led by over 400 volunteers who give up their time and money to direct, lead, cook, speak or help out in certain ways. Through their work over the past 77 years, thousands of kids have come to know and love the Lord Jesus Christ.

GUEST GROUPS/CAMPSITES

PROPERTY MANAGER

Galston Gorge Conference and Recreation Centre is one of two campsites owned by Crusaders, the other being located at Lake Macquarie. Both campsites are dedicated to Crusaders' mission and as such are used to run school and holiday camps where children and youth are challenged with the Gospel and encouraged to grow in their faith. When not being used by Crusaders' own camps, the sites are hired to guest groups as a way of generating funds to further support Crusaders' ministry.

The position of Property Manager is critical in providing the best possible environment for guests at both our Centres, with the hope that they will return year after year, for their benefit and ours. This position would suit those with a practical or trade background and is a live-on-site position with a 4 bedroom house available as part of the attractive salary package.
