Mark your calendars for April 21st to April 27th, 2025, as we gather once again at the beautiful Adventist Alpine Village in Jindabyne. This year’s theme is Empowered to Go, aligning with our focus on Cycle of Evangelism and Harvest ’25. Each one of us has the ability and resilience needed to be a disciple of God; sometimes all it takes is a bit of encouragement and some practical guidance.
Our speakers for Big Camp 2025 are Randy Roberts, Senior Pastor at Loma Linda University Church, and Pastor Adam Ramdin, Executive Producer of Lineage Journey.
We have partnered with Whova App to provide an immersive virtual experience to accompany all the fun that comes with building connections at camp. Download link coming soon.
