Looking for a no-frills retreat venue for your not-for-profit school, church or youth group?

Since 1987, Sine Cera has hosted school, church and youth groups. As a charity ourselves, we support these camps with discounted pricing and a setting built for the kind of trust and openness good educational and pastoral outcomes need.

A Living Classroom

Rainforest walking trails, ridge walks with sweeping views, and swimming holes turn a lesson plan into something students remember. Abundant local wildlife and a location bordering the World Heritage Border Ranges National Park (20 mins away) give leaders real material to work with.

Purpose-Built for Groups

100 beds across twin-share and Chalet-style rooms, plus the 6-bed Freeman Suite for camp leaders or kitchen staff who need their own space near the facilities. Large activity rooms for workshops and group sessions, plenty of room for indoor or outdoor games, and campfire pits for evening programs.

Safe, Simple, Supervised

Well-maintained bathrooms and kitchen facilities, slow-combustion fireplaces in Fahr House and the Dining Room, and staff on hand to help plan the day so leaders can focus on the group, not the logistics.
