    Outdoor Adventurers

    “Blue and green should often be seen.” Dr Darren Morton, author of Live More Happy.

    Our world is fast-paced and technology-driven. We stare at screens, commute in vehicles, and relax by turning on the TV and tuning out the world.

    But there’s so much more to life than being inside four walls. Adventists emphasise healthy living and whole-person wellness—and getting outside and being more active are big parts of that.

    Adding more outdoor activities to our lives complements the other wellness approaches Sydney Adventists subscribe to, such as plant-based diets, personal development (stewardship), mental health counselling, and depression recovery.

    Check out the events calendar below for upcoming activities!

    City2Surf

    City2Surf combines getting healthy and raising money for a good cause—ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency). Participants in the annual fun run dress up in costumes and travel the 14-km course from Sydney’s Hyde Park to Bondi Beach. You don’t have to be an athlete to get in on the fun—everyone is welcome.

    Crosslands Youth & Convention Centre

    To really get off-grid and escape, you don’t need to go far. Crosslands Youth & Convention Centre is just an hour away from Sydney, but a world away from the hustle and bustle. Large and small groups can camp or stay in cottages and cabins while enjoying the heated swimming pool, bushland, sports fields and water. Visitors can find peace while recharging physically, mentally, and spiritually.
