“Now” Summer Youth Camp 2027

Located at the Log Cabin Camps facility in Creswick, we are proud to announce the opening of the newly themed “NOW” free of charge Summer Youth Camp for January 2027.

It will be OPEN to VIP (previous campers) and their friends and relatives in the first week of November, so keep an eye out for it.

It will remain VIP only until the end of November 2026. On the 1st of December it will open to the public, so be sure to get your place registered as soon as possible so you do not miss out, places are limited.

Details of The 2027 Camp Theme

With the world looking increasingly frantic and confusion running wild, with our leaders seemingly groping for a wall in the dark, the wonderful stability of the hope of the gospel seems to shine that much brighter to both lead and light the paths of all who have come to trust Jesus Christ for their peace.

Never has there been a better time that NOW to come to this youth camp. Never has there been a better time than now to hear some of the wonderful words of life.

This free summer youth camp for 11 to 17 year olds is not just a place to meet and make new friends, or to play games and eat good food, it is certainly all that and so much more. It is the place where children can hear of the wonderful hope of the gospel and gain a focus in life that will endure and help them navigate this strange world.

This is our seventh free of charge gospel camp, and it testifies that Hope Camps is filling a need that has been yearning for many years. That a church as small as ours can attend to such a work as this is a miracle, and we certainly expect many more to come.

Please join us and support us in any way you can.

About Hope Camps

“Make the Gospel clear and make it the central purpose of these camps; open it for all who may come; make it fun and life changing, and I will bless it”

This is what the Lord seemed to impress upon the Pastor of Hope Baptist Church when he sought him in prayer. We obeyed and God was faithful in each and every way imaginable.

That first camp was called Transformed Life, it was held at Log Cabin Camps in Creswick in January 2022. It was followed by “Beyond A Doubt” Winter camp in late June 2022. But it did not stop there; “Standing Strong” Summer camp in 2023, “A Moment In Time” in 2024, “Be Still” Summer camp in 2025 and the “But God” Summer camp in 2026.

Now the 7th, camp Themed simply as “NOW” and also FREE OF CHARGE to both campers and volunteers. Food, games, accomodation and inspiration all free.

We returned to where the camps were birthed at Log Cabin Camps in 2026, where the wonderful Christian couple Grant and Christine are our hosts, together with the incredible help and blessings of their faithful staff, we expect will make this years camp as great as all those which came before.

The venue is spectacular, the activities are just as awesome, the games as good or better than all we have done to date.

Billy Cart Building and Racing also makes a return with brother Greg Hipworth directing the games. The phenomenal Greg Hipworth, who did a marvellous job directing the Games last year, will be continuing in this vital work.

Alvin Kettle returns to direct our music and bless our chapel time. Elise McKenzie takes lead in the kitchen again with her team to prepare the best home style meals-of-plenty (including desert) to ensure all the energy employed through the day is replenished by great food.

Pr Edi is directing the camp and exited to introduce Vince Wall from the Herald Of Hope magazine, who is set to preach the Gospel. Vince Wall has been a blessing on his teaching on prophecy over the years and has a true desire to reach many with his wonderful gospel tracts.

The Gospel

Jesus came to “seek and to save that which is lost” (Lk 19:10). In a world so confused and with troubles and struggles seen so regularly, first on our daily news but now on our social media, HOPE seems to be waning for many.
