Our friendly team has been working with church groups for decades.
Our facilities are perfect for youth groups, prayer and worship retreats, young adult camps, family camps, leadership weekends, and more. With dynamic activities and 84 beds available, we’ve seen stays for a range of spiritual getaways. It’s our privilege to host these events and see people celebrate, explore, and go deeper in their faith.
"Great swimming and camping spot close to Perth."

Something to look forward to
Natural
There’s nothing quite like being outdoors. Students of all ages enjoy exciting new learning opportunities when the classroom is transported to a serene, natural environment. How you use it is up to you!
Catered
As a teacher, you already have enough on your metaphorical plate — the least we can do is fill your actual plate for you. We offer delicious home-style cooked meals prepared in our onsite kitchen. Or, you’re welcome to self-cater if that suits you better.
Comfortable
It's nothing fancy, but Camp Lesch lodgings are comfortable, quiet, and private. Warm in winter and cool in summer, they’ll keep your students safe after a long day of physical challenges and academic adventures.
Flexible
The possibilities for Camp Lesch are only limited by what you can bring or plan. We’re really a blank canvas that you can use to have the camp you want, your way. We’re also flexible when it comes to booking dates and final numbers.
