Weddings

At Mt Keira Scout Camp we will try to assist you to make the day as happy and memorable as possible. If you are not familiar with the campsite or would like to discuss your possible arrangements, we invite you to visit the camp during the following times when one of our wonderful volunteers will be available to show you around: Wednesdays between 9am and 3pm, Saturdays between 9am and 4pm or Sundays between 9am and 3pm.

Facilities Available for Weddings

The Bush Chapel, The Glen, The Lodge and/or The Lodge grounds. Chairs and/or a Sound System and/or microphones are available for ceremonies in The Glen or The Lodge. We can also supply a signing table and cloth at no extra charge. Please be aware that there is no power at The Chapel. The path to the chapel is uneven and may be difficult for elderly or disabled.

Wet Weather Alternatives

If your special event is to take place in the Main Camp Chapel or The Glen it is advisable to make alternative arrangements in case of unsuitable weather conditions (either a totally alternate venue or if available you may like to consider The Lodge at an additional, non-refundable cost) as it is a rainforest setting.

All guests are to park in the Camp car park and walk to the venue. Exemptions to this apply for a celebrant, photographer or caterer who may be given access to The Lodge or the Turning circle, subject to available parking. Aged, infirmed or disabled guests may be transported to The Lodge but wherever possible the vehicle is then to be returned to the main Camp car park. Members of the wedding party are permitted to park at The Lodge.
