Big Camp, organised by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South New Zealand, is a week-long event designed to bring people closer to God and each other.

Big Camp offers a variety of activities including worship sessions, workshops, fun activities, and outdoor adventures. There will be dedicated programmes for all age groups, from kindy and primary children to juniors, teens, youth, and adults, ensuring tailored activities and spiritual experiences for everyone.

Each day is packed with opportunities to learn, grow, and create lasting memories. Whether you're taking in a powerful sermon, participating in a workshop or activity, or enjoying a nature hike, there’s something for everyone. Come along to strengthen your faith, build new friendships, and experience the beauty of God's creation.

You can choose to either camp onsite for the week, or come along as a day visitor during the day / for the evening programmes.
