What an exciting time this is for our conference. We’re going camping!
For many of you this will be your first ever Big Camp. For others, memories of Strathfield, Parramatta or Blacktown Camp Meetings might come to mind, where buses would come collect the kids, take them to school and return them again just in time for fun and worship.
Perhaps your story involves satisfying your annual Big Camp fix with another conference. (Don’t worry, we’re not side-eying you.) Whatever your Big Camp experience has been in the past, we are thrilled to be hosting this for Sydney Adventists! We have planned a camp specially tailored just for you, and we invite you to join us as we reclaim (our 2024 theme) Big Camp for the Greater Sydney Conference in April 2024.
What’s more, 2024 presents a rare moment in history for the Greater Sydney Conference, as it commemorates 75 years of being a separate conference from South New South Wales (SNSW) Conference. Considering this momentous occasion, we have been warmly welcomed by SNSW and the hospitality of the Adventist Alpine Village in Jindabyne where our Big Camp and 75th anniversary celebration will take place.
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 the app.
