Join us for South New Zealand Big Camp 2027!
Pascoe Park, Christchurch | 8-16 January 2027
Once every two years our South New Zealand church family gets together to spend time together in worship, spiritual enrichment, fun activities, fellowship, and specialised programmes for every age group. It is a time set aside to grow as individuals and as a community, and be equipped with the relationships, knowledge, resources and faith needed to answer God’s call upon our lives afresh for the next two years.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DAY VISITORS: Please register your attendance prior to arriving at Camp, to avoid encountering significant delays at the gate.

On the first Sunday of Big Camp, 10th January 2027, we will hold a Fun Day for anyone who would like to attend. This is a great opportunity to bring along your non-Adventist friends and family to have a fun Big Camp experience. If you would like to be part of bringing our Sunday Fun Day to life, you can apply to contribute a stall or activity. There are no stall fees, and any income from your stall will be yours to keep.
