LiT Spring runs in the first week of the September school holidays each year. In 2024 the dates are 30 September - 4 October, 2024.

Week 1 | January 22-26, 2025.
Week 2 | January 26-30, 2025.

LIT Spring and Summer #1 & #2 will be at Youthworks Conference Centres Port Hacking, Rathane Road, Royal National Park.

LIT / Spring check-in is at 1:00pm on the first day of camp and finishes after lunch on the final day at approximately 2:00pm.

LIT / Summer check-in is at 3:00pm on the first day of camp and finishes after lunch on the final day at approximately 2:00pm. This is for both week 1 & 2.

If you’ve never been to LIT before and you are in Year 9 or 10 in 2025 you must start in Stage 1. Even if you have been a Christian for a while, you are serving in your church and you have done leadership training through church and school we still insist that you start in Stage 1. Our program is designed to build on the previous year(s), so you will get the most out of LIT if you start at the beginning. It also means that those who have done Stage 1 before can have the best experience of Stage 2.

The exception to this is if you are already in Year 11 or 12 in 2025, then you should book a Stage 2 ticket.

Only youth who have completed Stage 2 are allow to do Stage 3.

In short, No.

You will make new friends on camp and have time with friends from other stages during free time and The Gathering. We can organise to have leaders help you make connections at the start of camp if this is something you are nervous about.

It's important that you follow the instructions about what ticket to purchase when you register because otherwise it disadvantages the other campers who have come before.

If you are in Year 9 or 10 in 2025 and coming for the first time then you must choose a Stage 1 ticket.

If you are in Year 11 or 12 in 2025 and coming for the first time, then you should purchase a Stage 2 ticket.

We don’t take any campers in Stage 3 who have not already done LIT Stage 2.

This information is available in our booking terms and conditions that are agreed to when tickets are purchased.

Yes! Free time each day and The Gathering each evening see all three stages come together, so if you have friends in other stages you will be able to hang out with them then.

We allocate rooms according to gender for each stage, and then you get to pick your room groups from there. So if you are a boy and in Stage 1, you will be in a room with other boys from Stage 1.

There is some time to get to know other people from your stage before you choose your rooms, so even if you come to camp not knowing anyone you will have time to make new friends before you have to work out which room to go in.

Year 12s on LIT Spring will have a dedicated quiet space for afternoon study. Indicate on your registration that you would like to use this pace and we will reserve a spot for you. This will be available for approximately 2-3 hours on Days 2 - 4 of camp.

Yes. Please speak to your local church first and see if they might provide financial assistance.

There is a payment plan option on the ticketing website that will withdraw even weekly payments on Friday mornings at about 9am from the date of purchase until the set date when registrations close.

If your church are unable to help and you need further assistance beyond the payment plan please email ministrysupport@youthworks.net with a little about your situation, what church you are with and what assistance you require, including the amount of financial assistance you are asking for.

We also offer a third child discount. Please contact ministrysupport@youthworks.net for information of how to receive this discount.

Yes! You can download our Social Story for LIT Summer 2025 which has a simple explanation of everything that a camper will experience on LIT so they know what to expect and feel more prepared.
