Summer Camp is packed with fun, adventure, friendships, and opportunities to grow in your relationship with Jesus! Here’s what you can expect throughout the week:

• Worship & Spiritual Growth: Each evening, campers come together for an exciting worship program featuring live worship music, fun icebreakers, and inspiring messages from guest speakers from across Australia.

• Daily Activities: Campers enjoy four activity sessions each day! They get to choose their first three activities based on their interests, before everyone comes together in the afternoon for swimming and biscuiting on the water.

• Tribal Games: At the beginning of the week, every camper is allocated to a tribe. Throughout the week, tribes compete in exciting challenges and games, earning points towards daily pool party rewards and the ultimate title of Overall Tribe Champions!

Summer Camp is all about making memories, building friendships, trying new things, and growing closer to Jesus in a fun and welcoming environment!

Yes! Lots of our campers are first-timers. Our leaders keep an eye out for new campers and help them settle in. Between shared activities, cabin life, and time around the meal table, camp creates natural spaces for friendships to grow.

Not at all. Camp is for everyone, whatever your background or beliefs, and we’d love to have you along.

The $415 fee covers accommodation, meals, activities, and the program. The bus is an optional extra.

Yes. You can choose four weekly payments of $103.75 when you register. Payments are charged automatically to the card you provide.

Please get in touch with us. We don't want cost to stop anyone from coming.

You can either drop off and pick up your child at Mornington Adventure Camp yourself, or they can catch the camp bus, which departs from and returns to the Conference Office at 84 Welshpool Rd, Welshpool WA 6106.

For Teen Camp, drop-off is 2pm on Tuesday 12 January and pick-up is 10am on Sunday 17 January. For Junior Camp, drop-off is 2pm on Tuesday 19 January and pick-up is 10am on Sunday 24 January. Please arrive only at these times and no earlier.

For Teen Camp, the bus departs the Conference Office at 12pm on Tuesday 12 January and arrives back at approximately 12pm on Sunday 17 January. For Junior Camp, it departs at 12pm on Tuesday 19 January and arrives back at approximately 12pm on Sunday 24 January.

Bus seats are limited and must be booked. This can be done during the initial Summer Camp registration process. The bus costs $20 one way or $40 return.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before departure. The bus leaves at 12pm sharp, and anyone not at the office by then will need to arrange their own transport to camp.

All activities are run by skilled staff, and a thorough risk management process is in place before and during every activity. All staff are Adsafe trained and approved and hold a valid Working With Children Check. Campers sleep in dorm-style accommodation supervised by counsellors. Counsellors are volunteer staff who are screened before joining the team, hold a Working With Children Check (if over 18), and are trained in our Adsafe policies.

In line with our Adsafe child safety policies, we ask that parents leave the site once they have dropped off and signed in their children.

Campers stay in dorm-style accommodation, supervised by counsellors who are screened volunteers. When registering, campers can name up to three friends they'd like to room with. We do our best to group friends together, though we can't guarantee it.

Meals are provided at camp. We can cater for dietary needs such as gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. Just let us know on the registration form.

Each day includes activity sessions. Campers choose their morning activities by listing their preferences, and we’ll do our best to give everyone their top picks, subject to availability. Afternoons finish with a swim.

Activities include:

• Waterskiing

• Abseiling

• Climbing wall and flying fox

• Mountain biking

• Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking

• Cooking (bread and smoothie making)

• Wheels (billy carts and BMX)

• Targets (archery and more)

Evenings are a highlight of camp. We come together for worship with live music, fun icebreakers, and guest speakers who share stories and ideas that connect with real life. Our 2027 theme is Kingdom Leaders: Leading by Serving.

Sharing Jesus with campers is close to our hearts. Whether they already have a faith or are just curious, every camper is welcome to explore, ask questions, and grow in their faith at their own pace.

Summer Camp is an opportunity for campers to disconnect from their devices, build friendships, and fully enjoy the camp experience!

Campers are not permitted to use mobile phones during camp. If a camper brings a phone, it must remain switched off and stored in their bag for the entire duration of camp.

If a camper is seen with or using their phone, it will be confiscated by camp staff and returned at the end of camp.

We appreciate your support in helping us create a fun, engaging, and distraction-free camp experience for everyone!
