What is Big Camp?
Every second year, in January, the North New Zealand Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church holds Big Camp at Tui Ridge Park. This is where church members come together for nine days to worship, fellowship, and grow spiritually. It is a family camp and caters for all age groups.
Over the period of the Camp, we have over 1,000 people staying onsite with many more on the weekends, including day visitors. Everyone can participate in activities, programs and workshops according to their division or age group ranging across the following: Beginners (0-2 years old), Kindergarten (3-6 years old), Primary (7-9 years old), Junior (10-12 years old), High School (13-17 years old), Youth (18+ years old) and Adults.
Registrations to attend Big Camp open in June/July and fill up very quickly. Please subscribe to the email Plugin to keep up to date on Big Camp information and the opening of registrations.
