Attunga is a Christian campsite situated on 300 high country acres at Canyonleigh in the stunning southern highlands of NSW, Australia. With a history spanning almost 30 years, the site was first established and dedicated to the glory of God in 1982. The name “Attunga” originates from an Aboriginal term meaning ‘High Place’, which is fitting for its location on the edge of an escarpment overlooking the Wingecarribee and Wollondilly rivers, near the summit of Mt Penang in the Bangadilly National Park. Attunga boasts natural bushland, breathtaking views, cliffs, valleys, and abundant native wildlife. The campsite operates as a not-for-profit Christian outreach with no denominational ties, welcoming a diverse range of guests including biblically-based evangelical churches, para-church ministries, schools, community groups, corporate teams, and families.
Attunga collaborates with like-minded organizations to utilize its facilities creatively and expand their ministries. The campsite is a member of the Christian Venues Association, which represents over 230 venues across Australia serving various guest groups. Additionally, Attunga is associated with Horse Safety Australia, contributing to fostering higher safety standards within the horse industry, particularly in teaching horseriding to beginners. The site’s involvement with the Australian Camps Association and Outdoors NSW & ACT highlights its commitment to promoting outdoor experiences and adventure activities for youth and adult citizens, enhancing lives both individually and collectively. Attunga’s location, history, facilities, and partnerships make it a place where communities come together to engage in faith-based events, educational programs, outdoor adventures, and more.
