The CAMPFIRE Internship is a two-year traineeship, giving you a foundational understanding of the Christian faith and training in Outdoor Leadership which prepares you for ministry and a career in the growing Outdoor Education sector. In the first year the focus of the internship is on organic discipleship and a significant component of a Certificate III in Outdoor Leadership (SIS30619) from Malyon Vocational Training. The second year is an opportunity for a greater ownership of tasks and decision making, continued mentoring and discipleship, overseas service trip and completing further Cert III & Cert IV units of competency.
The Blackall Range has a place of great importance in our nation’s history. It is a place of abundance and hosted the regular Bunya Festival – a corroboree where stories and skills were exchanged, conflicts resolved and stories told. Working with several prominent Aboriginal Christians the QCCC CAMPFIRE program endeavors to resurrect the legacy of our continent’s original inhabitants within the context of Outdoor Education. The program is an inseparable combination of Christian discipleship, Aboriginal story and training to lead adventure experiences in the outdoors.

- Authentic Discipleship
- Servant Leadership
