24 July, 2026 18:00 - 26 July, 2026 14:00

 

Join us from Fri 24th July to Sun 26 July 2026 for

St Alfred's Church Wide Camp.

 

 

It’s been a while, but church camp is back! Come with us to Phillip Island Adventure Resort, for a weekend of intentional community. Hear from our guest speaker, Rev Stephanie Judd, on Saturday, and spend time in thoughtful discussion with people from all across St Alfreds, There’ll be a special primary kid’s program too. Then join us on Sunday morning as we worship together as God’s people and hear from the new Archbishop of Melbourne, Ric Thorpe.

There will also be times to grow in fun with various site activities, as well as an all-in activity on Saturday night that is sure to get your brains working and blood pumping. After the day is over, and the kids are in bed, relax with some live music and chill games. We can’t wait to spend time with you growing in togetherness, fun, and most importantly faith.
