What does it look like when Christian camping impacts the world? Join Bill Fernald, CEO of Christian Camping International, as he shares a powerful glimpse into how camps across the globe are shaping lives, building leaders, and advancing the Kingdom in ways you may have never imagined. From remote mountain camps to bustling city programmes, Bill brings stories, insights, and a global perspective that will both challenge and inspire you. This is more than a session—it’s a call to see beyond our borders and dream bigger for the mission of camping ministry. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose, global connection, and a heart stirred for impact.

Before the day gets busy with sessions, networking, and ideas, we invite you to pause and center your heart with us at our morning devotion. This year’s theme, "Living Worthy," calls us to examine our walk – not just in words, but in the way we live, lead, and love. What does it truly mean to live a life worthy of the calling we've received? How do we reflect Christ in the everyday? Come be refreshed and challenged as we open God’s Word together. Let this time of reflection, prayer, and worship set the tone for your day – not just at the conference, but in the life you return to afterward. Led by Unathi Mbuyazi, let’s seek Him together.

Being a camp facilitator, volunteer, director, chef, or administrator isn’t just a role—it’s a calling. It’s early mornings, late nights, and pouring your heart into every detail so others can encounter something life-changing. At this conference, you’ll meet like-minded people who truly understand the unique demands, joys, and challenges of camp ministry. Whether you lead from the kitchen, the front office, the prayer tent, or the ropes course—you belong here. This is your chance to share stories, swap ideas, find encouragement, and build connections that last far beyond the conference walls. Come be refreshed, re-inspired, and reminded that you’re not alone.

What if one key skill could transform how your camp, lodge, or conference connects with people? Join Dr Mario Denton and Dr Kevin Henderson at the conference and explore how Emotional Intelligence and Neurodiversity can become a game-changer in your programme—from the campfire circle to the reception desk, from outdoor adventures to leadership development. Learn how to weave EQ into your camp programmes, reserve recreation, lodge experiences, and even your conference structure—to create spaces that are not just fun or functional, but deeply meaningful and emotionally safe. These sessions will equip you with tools to better understand, lead, and care for your guests, staff, and team.
