When I was a kid we went to the North New South Wales Camp.

Next month we will be having the South Queensland Camp held in the northern outskirts of Brisbane.

There will be about 3,000 campers there for the eight days. On the two Sabbaths usually about 10,000 people come each of the two Sabbath days.

This year I think we will have Pr Walter Wright from America come out and be the main night speaker in the "Big Tent".

As usual we will be camping on site. Not only is it a good spiritual time but one gets to meet many olf friends from way back.

I currently attend Campmeeting every June at Auburn Adventist Academy in Auburn, WA. As a child we used to go to the ones in Portland and also in College Place, WA on the campus of Walla Walla College. I have many great memories of campmeeting. When my girls were toddlers they would cry all the way home from campmeeting when it was over. They still look forward to it every summer and participate by working in the childrens divisions.

Happy Sabbath

I last attended campmeeting at Sedaven near Johannesburg, South Africa about 3 years ago because my sister asked me to come.
I left the SDA's shorthly after that. But I always enjoyed seeing old friends from school days. Later having lived in different places, and seeing old friends from different congregations was also fun to catch up on the latest news. The speakers were usually from America or Australia, which we enjoyed very much.
Thank's for fond memories.
God bless

"slightly legalistic"

Can you explain please?

Like in what way do you think they are?

 

[smooze]

never mind .
Obviously i meant we take all our view and standards from Jesus teaching and from the bible. I have no clue what legalism is ..........I may have used that word in a wrong context. please lets not turn this into a who is right and who is wrong forum. nobodies perfect.!

Yep, I went to the WA one in Perth last year and helped out in Lower primary. I didn't get to go this year (cuz I went mad and decided to move to NSW instead ) didn't go to SNSW camp and NNSW is coming up during semester break Sept/October.

I LOVE camp meetings. My family goes every years to the one for greater New york Conference, for the English and United. But my favorite part is the concert in the youth tent

i have been a seventh day adventist for about 9 years now. I have gone to the camp meeting at Gentry, Arkansas for the last, ooohh, 7 years?? it is a great time, not only spiritually, but camping is a blast, especailly with your friends. Not only do i look forward to it every year, but my daughter cant wait for it and is sad when it is over! What a testimony, when our kids dont want to leave "church"!!

While i've never "camped" at camp, I've probably been to about 4 or 5 Victorian Conference Camps. It is a great time both spiritually and socially... I think I will camp next year

The camp meeting we attend is held at the Ozark Adventist Academy grounds, in beautiful NW Arkansas. It is a lovely country setting next to a COLD and clear babbling brook where the baptisms are done. Of course there is the BIG tent for the adult meetings and several smaller tents for the kids' activites. Also on the grounds are areas for tent camping and also RV's. People from all over the area and out of state come each year. It's a very blessed time for hearing the word of God--wonderful testimonies and meeting new friends and seeing old friends too. The kids love it!!

I would love to attend the 3ABN fall camp-meeting this year. But with the price of gas going thru the roof--that is not be possbile!!!

Blessings, Honor

Can you send me some at that price. There would be no end of people wanting to buy your cheap fuel.

This morning it was $1.20 per litre in Brisbane, Sydney is anything up to 10 cents per litre higher.
