SWE27 — Purpose

SWE27 is organised by a committee of young people from various Sydney ecclesias.

You must be at least 16 years old before SWE27 begins (11/06/2027). The upper age limit is approximately 35.

No. Payment must be completed in full at least one calendar month in advance, that is, before 11 May 2027. This lets the committee know who is definitely attending, and allows time for the waiting list to be contacted and finalised. Most of the costs of running a camp like this are also due in advance, particularly in the weeks leading up to SWE27.

See the camp details section for information on the fees for SWE27.

All payments are made by bank transfer to the Sydney CYC bank account. The account details are at the end of the booking form.

The $50 deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.

If you can't make it to SWE27 and you let us know more than two weeks before camp begins (by 28 May 2027), your fees will be refunded, less the deposit.

If you are on the waiting list and don't get a place, your fees will be refunded, less the deposit.

In the unlikely event SWE27 is cancelled for a reason outside the committee's control, we will try to refund you the maximum amount possible.

Bookings are limited to 275 young people.

All attendees need to arrive between 7:00pm and 8:30pm on Friday 11 June 2027. If you are flying in, we recommend a flight that lands at Sydney Airport no later than 5:00pm.

Camp ends at around 2:00pm on Monday 14 June 2027. If you are flying out, we recommend a flight that departs no earlier than 7:00pm.

All attendees are required to be at SWE27 for the whole long weekend.

SWE27 is designed so you get the most out of it by being there for the whole long weekend, so please only book if you can stay for the entire weekend.

We understand emergencies happen. If you need to leave for any amount of time, please speak to a committee member before you go. If you leave without first talking to the committee, you may not be able to return to SWE27.

We can't guarantee a place, but at previous SWEs up to 100 people have withdrawn for various reasons. We usually have a better idea of how many places will open up for the waiting list one to two weeks before the weekend.

If a place doesn't become available and you have already paid, your fees will be refunded, less the deposit and any processing fees.

Most updates are sent by email from hello@gotoswe.com, so consider adding it to your safe senders list. Try searching your inbox, junk and spam folders for emails from this address.

If you've changed your email address since booking, send us your new address so we can update our records. We may also text or call you from time to time, so please let us know if your mobile number changes.

Please contact us if you have young children and would like to come. We would love to have you at SWE27, and want to make sure we can support you and other attendees in getting the most out of the weekend.
