FlameTree Family Camp 🏕️
The FlameTree Family Camp is one of the highlights of our year!
A church camp like you probably haven’t experienced it before...
A family camp - not just for families, but for all generations - to come and connect with one another, share meals together, and spend the weekend enjoying the beautiful surroundings of QCCC Mapleton.
Registering for camp
The FlameTree Family Camp is for people who call FlameTree Church home.
The cost of camp covers access to the property, accomodation, all food for the weekend and camp activities.
Once you have registered, you will receive an email with an invoice - this invoice confirms your registration and all invoices must be paid in full by August 3rd, 2025.
Families with 3+ kids, and single parent families will receive a 10% discount applied to their invoice.
Due to the increased cost of camp this year, we have subsidised the overall cost for adults and children. When you register for camp, you will be able to elect if you would like the subsidised cost, or if you would like to pay the full price of $150 per person.
We think that everyone should be able to come to camp if they want to! If the cost is prohibitive to you, please just make yourself known to the leadership team so we can find a solution for you.
Accomodation
This year we have moved campgrounds from QCCC Noosa to QCCC Mapleton.
In changing campgrounds, we have lost the variety of accommodation options that only QCCC Noosa has to offer. However, we are committed to still providing an awesome camp experience for everyone who attends!
Accommodation Options
QCCC Mapleton offers onsite dorm accomodation. With rooms of different sizes, some rooms featuring an ensuite and some with a bathroom block attached. All onsite accommodation is a flat rate and not affected by your room assignment.
Unfortunately QCCC Mapleton does not currently allow onsite camping. However, due to a generous offer from a member of the house we are able to provide offsite camping at a location 2kms away from QCCC as an option to those who just love camping! If you choose to camp offsite, this would purely be a place for you to sleep and all food and camp activities will still take place onsite at QCCC Mapleton.
Please note: If you are registering for onsite accomodation and your group does not meet the full accommodation capacity for the rooms available, there is a chance that you will be placed in a room with other people so we can ensure that we are able to make space for everyone who would like to attend camp. [For example: There is a limited number of 2 bedroom dorms, so if you are a couple and you book to stay onsite, we may need to place you in a bigger room with another couple if we reach capacity.]
When you register, you will have the opportunity to let us know if there is anyone specific you would like to room with. If you don’t specify, that’s okay! We will always check in with you before assigning you to a room with someone you don’t know.
Activities
At camp, our goal is to create opportunities for you to be as involved & engaged as you’d like to be, and that looks different for everyone!
FAQ
Have questions about FlameTree Family Camp? They may already be answered!
Have a read through this FAQ Page, and if your question hasn’t been answered you can email info@flametree.org.au
who is camp for?
The FlameTree Family Camp is for people who call FlameTree Church home.
Not just for families, but for all people and generations - old and young!
what does the price include?
The price of camp is per person, and includes everything you will need for the full weekend. Accommodation, food (5 meals total, plus morning & afternoon tea, and suppers) and activity costs.
why is it more expensive?
Due to QCCC Noosa closing their doors, we have had to move campgrounds this year. While QCCC Mapleton has graciously offered us a discounted rate to have camp at their site, their site is a fully catered site which - amongst other things - makes it more expensive. (Marg and George Henders have done a remarkable job at helping us keep costs down each year with their wonderful catering skills!)
We have done what we can to reduce and subsidise the final cost of camp for adults and children. However, if the cost is still too high for you, please just make yourself known to our leadership team and we can find a solution that works for you! We believe that anyone who wants to come to camp should be able to, and we are so happy to work with you to make sure you can come along too.
In saying that, if you are in a place where you are happy to pay the un-subsidised cost of $150 per person, please make note of this when you register.
can I bring my own food?
While you’re not able to bring your own meals due to QCCC Mapleton being a fully catered site, you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks (please no alcohol & no nuts).
Any food you bring must be stored in your accommodation, as we do not have access to the kitchen at this campsite.
do I need to bring my own bedding?
Yes. The onsite accommodation will supply a single mattress, but you will need to bring your own linens, blankets, pillows and towels.
do the onsite accommodations have heating?
Yes! All QCCC Mapleton accomodation has reverse-cycle, split-system air conditioning.
do the onsite accommodations have bathrooms?
There are a variety of onsite dorm layouts, some rooms do include an ensuite. However, some just have a toilet/shower block attached to the overall dorm building.
You can submit a request to have a room with an ensuite, however no promises will be made and all final room assignments will be completed by the FlameTree admin team based on what is most suitable for the majority.
