Church Camp 2026

March 20 - 22 @ Sawtell Beach Holiday Park

Church Camp 2026


So what’s the go?

The St Peters Armidale Cathedral Church Camp is an annual event held in Sawtell. Every year, we get away for a few days in the spring after a generally chilly winter in Armidale. Some people camp in tents, others bring caravans and the rest of us stay in cabins on-site. It’s a terrific & super-relaxed time for us to connect as a church, hear from God’s word, strengthen relationships, catch up over a cuppa, try for a swim, and just enjoy one another’s company. Nothing beats a good church camp!

About the topic

Nick will be encouraging us to think about our Christian wisdom, and how it is often heading in a surprisingly different direction to worldly wisdom.

About the speaker

Nick is married to Caroline. They have three children. Nick has been the Vicar of St Barnabas’ Community Church in Boggabri since 2018. This year, he begins a new role as the Chaplain at The Armidale School. He studied theology and ministry at Sydney Missionary and Bible College and before that, business at the University of New England. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming the Stones to our church family and also to Church Camp.
