Easter Camp 2025

Easter Camp 2025: ‘Let’s Get Real’ ran over the Easter long weekend at Araluen Lutheran Camp, Anglesea. It was a lovely weekend with many fun activities and wonderful moments of reflection and worship.

This year was the first year since 2019 that we invited ages 16+ on camp. We had 4 participants under the age of 18, who praised the camp for its ability to “bridge the gap” between youth camps, such as CLW, and the young adult community of the LYV.

Our guest speaker this year was Jordan Moore, who delivered some incredible upfronts, going into depth about “getting real…with relationships”, talking about relationship with self, God, and others. The small group time was innovative and thought-provoking, providing the participants the space to share their thoughts and questions.

The activities on camp were also a highlight, with whole group activities such as trivia, line dancing and even a team-based Easter egg hunt being a source of joy for all involved.

Many of the participants came away from camp acknowledging the transformative power that Easter Camp had on their faith, with the ability to have deep conversations with others and the reflective worship times centred around Jesus’ death and resurrection. These worship opportunities are central to the camp every year, and create an atmosphere that is spiritually, emotionally, and even physically, renewing. This year Pastor Nathan Hedt joined us as camp Pastor.

Overall, this year’s Easter Camp was a profound and valuable experience for the young adults who attended.
