WEEK AWAY 2021

Clear your calendar – It’s that time of year again when we all go away together!

Week Away is for all ages and has always been a time of fun and refreshment; intentionally building closer friendships as we spend a week together while getting to know our God better through his word, the Bible. This year we will be returning to the Shoalhaven Youthworks sites, Waterslea and Koloona overlooking the Shoalhaven River, set amongst 262 acres of green pastures and untouched native bushland. (439 Koloona Dr Watersleigh)

When: 2nd – July, 2021

Covid stuff to consider

The 2 square metre rule still applies to all groups at Youthworks. This will mean that if numbers exceed the Youthworks limits, both the Waterslea dining hall and the Waterslea meeting room will be used for lunch and dinner mealtimes. A marque (with heaters) will be hired for the talks. The marque will be located on the grass at Koloona. For those not familiar with Youthworks Shoalhaven, a map is below showing the distance between the two sites. Anyone with flu like symptoms will not be able to attend Week Away until they are symptom free. A Covid check in process will be established for all attendees upon arrival to the site.
