camper information.

Thanks so much for getting behind WAY AWAY, you’re all locked in! This email has everything you need to know, so please don’t lose it (flag it, screenshot it, tattoo it on your foot, whatever works). Parents and youth should both see/read this email.

Get ready for WAY AWAY 2026! We’ll be camping out in our massive heated tents for a long weekend of hectic fun, food, bonfires, big games, and proper Bible teaching from 2 Timothy: From Spark to Crown. We’ve got a bunch of stuff planned, plus plenty of unplanned time to just relax and hang out together. It’s four days to slow down, make some memories, eat well, and dig into something that actually lasts.

And yes, we moved it to October on purpose. Last year’s June camp was unforgettable. It was also freezing. So this time we’re camping in spring weather (and in the school holidays). Warm & sunny, but still cosy round the bonfire at night.

Five essentials to keep everyone safe and comfy:

  1. A warm sleeping bag, name on it
  2. A pillow, name on it
  3. A warm jacket, name on it
  4. A torch, with batteries in
  5. Fully enclosed shoes to wear most of the time (not Crocs, not Birks, not thongs)

3. GENERAL PACKING LIST
One item of luggage per person (keep sleeping bag and pillow separate). Pack the 5 must-brings above, plus:

  • Bible and a pen
  • Drink bottle
  • 4 full sets of clothes (plus what you travel in)
  • Pyjamas (spring nights still get cool)
  • A jumper and trackies for the evenings
  • Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc.)
  • Bath towel
  • Clothing you can be active/sporty in
  • Sunscreen and a hat, it’s October, the sun’s back
  • Optional: your own single mattress (a self-inflating one is included in your ticket, but you’re welcome to BYO, it stays your responsibility)

4. PHONES AT CAMP About phones… This year, from sunset to sunrise they’ll be collected and safely put away. Evenings and mornings will better without them. Even better, leave your phone at home and bring a camera to capture the weekend and throw a deck of cards or a board game in your bag. You’ll be amazed what you don’t miss by not having it.

Four days away to light a fire that lasts. We’ll be camping out in our massive heated tents for a long weekend of hectic fun, food, bonfires, big games, and Bible teaching from 2 Timothy: From Spark to Crown.

We’ve got a bunch of awesome stuff planned, plus plenty of unplanned time to just relax and hang out together. And yes, we moved it to October on purpose. Last year was unforgettable. It was also freezing. So this time we’re camping in spring weather. Warmer, sunnier, and perfect to gather around a bonfire at night.

Come in from the cold this October. Grab your spot before it fills.
