2026 Big Camp Booklet

HAND OF CHRIST

On The Cover Theses icons represent the core principles of this year’s theme, the “Hand of Christ.”

Each icon ties directly to these principles, showing how the “Hand of Christ” shapes a church that is engaged, compassionate, and true to His teaching.

TRANSFORMATION OF CHARACTER

WELCOME TO BIG CAMP

The term was intended as an insult, derogatory, a put-down: little Christs.

"Christians."

Jews and pagans alike were unimpressed.

After all, these people believed in, and behaved like, a supposedly dead Jewish has-been. They cared for the poor and vulnerable. They shared their possessions. They loved their enemies.

They started hospitals for the sick, orphanages for children without parents, and homes for the elderly.

In the early church, Christianity was not a noun, a label or a name tag. It was a verb. An action. A way of life.

There were no cultural Christians. No merchandise-wearing Christians. No trending Christians.

There were simply followers of Jesus behaving like Jesus—loving the unlovable, seeking the lost, discipling the found.

Little Christs. Christians.

The question for us today is simple: What do our neighbours, colleagues, and communities call us? What do they see when they look at our lives?

Our prayer and focus this Big Camp is to inspire, equip, and empower each of us to practice what we preach, to behave as we believe, to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our families, our neighbours, and our communities.

And as we do, soon, very soon…: "The King will say, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'" (Matthew 25:40) Cristian Copaceanu

No dogs, cats or other pets allowed on site.

Please observe a modest standard of dress and deportment. Loud and offensive language is not accepted or tolerated.

Child Supervision Parents are reminded that their responsibility for their children does not cease when they come to camp. While every care is taken and there are activities for children, camp is not a child minding facility.

The conference does not take responsibility for the care of children during camp. Their absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

The ultimate responsibility for the care of children always remains with parents or guardians. Please ensure that the conduct of your children and young people is adequately supervised through the camp period, and that your children are fully under your control between meetings.

Cash Out ATM is located at the Stuarts Point Takeaway, cash up to $50 can be taken out at the General Camp Office as available.

Departures Departures from camp should not be planned during Sabbath hours as a courtesy to other campers, apart from exceptional circumstances.

Photography At Big Camp Most people taking photos of children at Big Camp are doing so for acceptable reasons and using appropriate methods.

However, it is worth noting that many photographs taken in public places will include subjects who have not consented to their photo being taken. In Australia, generally speaking, there is no law restricting photography of people (including children) in public spaces as long as the images are;

Understanding this, the NNSW Conference requests that you adhere to the following guidelines when it comes to photography at Big Camp: Authorised photographers under the Communications Team have been employed to take photographs at Big Camp.

They will be wearing a staff lanyard.

If you do not wish your child to be photographed by the photographer for any reason, please contact the Camp Office and identify the children.

If you are taking photographs that include minors, please endeavour to restrict the images to those children that are related, or known, to you.

Due to child protection issues, photos of children at camp, other than those that are directly related to you, should not be posted onto the internet, social networking sites or any other form of electronic carriage service.

Photography within the Children's Division tents is restricted to authorised photographers only. A designated 10-minute time frame will be provided at the conclusion of select programs, allowing parents to capture photographs of their children alongside tent leaders and against the tent backdrops.

Mobile phones with photographic ability and cameras are not to be used inside the amenities blocks. If you have concerns about inappropriate photographic behaviour or content, please report this to the NNSW Conference administration.

HAND OF CHRIST

? Not considered indecent ? Not being used for voyeurism ? Not being used for commercial purposes without a Model Release/ Consent.

However, where an event is held on private property, such as Yarra Holiday Park, the owners of the private property are able to restrict or ban photography.

TENT

ROBBY MORGAN Robby Morgan was born and raised in Southern California and now resides in Australia with his wife and two beautiful kids. He currently serves as the ARISE Australia Outreach Coordinator and on the Kingscliff SDA Church pastoral team.

He loves Jesus, his family, and sleeping under the stars. Something that amazes him about God is how in spite of all his failings, God is faithful still.

Known

BIG CAMP 2026

The theme 'Known' is grounded in John 17:3: “Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.”

To know Jesus is not merely to know about Him, but to enter into a real, life-giving relationship that transforms our identity, anchors our purpose, and defines our hope.

Before this, he ministered in Sydney as a youth pastor in two large churches and worked closely with the Conference Youth Department, mentoring young people and serving as the regional pastoral leader for youth.

He’s known for communicating the Gospel in a raw, authentic, and relatable way, and he’s a committed family man, married to his wife Tania for 17 years, with two daughters.

What is the one thing you want above all else? This year at camp we are going into scripture to find out what the one thing God desires for us above all else.

BIG CAMP 2026

PRESCHOOL TENT GRETA CHERRY

BIG CAMP 2026

Growing up in a church that encouraged young people to “Be the change you want to see in the world,” Greta discovered the joy of serving others and sharing God’s love in creative ways.

Through STORMCo trips and hands-on adventures, her passion for helping people and making faith fun continues to grow!

She loves inspiring children to know Jesus, explore their gifts, and experience the joy of loving others through play, creativity, and community.

26

Greta and her team are looking forward to welcoming preschoolers (and parents) to their Jungle Safari Adventure! This will be a journey where curiosity, creativity, and God’s love come alive! With every roar, squawk, and giggle, children will discover a sense of belonging and explore the wonders of God’s creation through storytelling, music, and hands-on sensory play.

Get ready preschoolers for a wild adventure with Jesus!

HYPERACTIVE FAITH TENT PEAU AND JULIEANNE AFOA

BIG CAMP 2026

Pr Peau has pastored the Narrabri and Moree churches for the past five years, while Julieanne serves as a registered nurse at Narrabri Hospital and the local Medical Centre. Together, they have been leading out the Hyperactive Faith Tent at Big Camp for three years, creating a space where Neurodivergent children can grow, learn about God, and know they are precious in His eyes.

Their passion is personal, shaped by their son, Sefa, who lives with Autism and ADHD. This experience fuels their dedication to serve families with love, patience, and understanding.

28

Building Belonging

This year’s theme of “The Carpenter’s Workshop” reflects Jesus’ humble workshop, where every cut of wood and every joint crafted was not merely about creating something functional, but about shaping a space where families could gather, support one another, and foster a sense of belonging. Just as He shaped wood with care, He shaped hearts with His teachings, encouraging people to embrace compassion and understanding. We are so excited to welcome the kids into this supportive space.

Women and the Word: Life Without a Handrail Karen Ferry

Life Without a Handrail explores life when certainty collapses and the things we once relied on no longer hold. Through raw stories from Scripture and everyday life—women navigating responsibility, pressure, loss, fatigue, comparison, and quiet doubt—it reflects on what happens within us when life feels unsteady. Drawing on neuroscience, the series helps make sense of faith, emotion, behaviour, and decision-making under strain. This is about real life, lived in real bodies on real days, and learning how steadiness can grow even when the way ahead is unclear.
