Same amazing organisation, fresh new name!

Who can go on a Life Camp?
We have camps for all ages! We have Children's Camps, Teen Camps, Family Camps, and a variety of camps for adults (such as Be Transformed Young Adults Camp, Men's Muster, Nourish and Marriage Retreats). Check out our range of camps here.
I've never been on a Life Camp before. What’s it like?
Great question! All our camps value an authentic, fun, inclusive environment where the Gospel is presented freely and where all present are given the opportunity to grow in their faith and encounter the love and power of God.
We love to eat together, worship together, learn and grow together, and there is always a lot of time given for fun activities and space to get to know each other. Every camp has a different flavour and theme, decided by the camp organisers. The primary and secondary age camps will have greater structure than the late-teen and adult camps, however the overall emphasis really is on having a fun time together, growing in connection with God and others.

Do leaders stay in the cabins with campers (on the Childrens and Teens camps)?
No, they don’t. Traditionally, our leaders stayed in the same cabins as campers, but as Child Safe standards have changed, we’ve updated our policies and procedures to comply. Ultimately, the safety of our campers is our highest priority, so adults don’t sleep in the cabins with campers. Instead, careful supervision rosters are developed for night times, and the location of leaders is clearly communicated to all campers, should they require assistance throughout the night. This is best practice for ensuring the safety of our campers and leaders, and meets our Child Safe obligations.
