Take the adventure further
Inferno is where independence meets adventure. Designed for 15-18 year olds, this camp gives you the freedom to craft your own experience whilst being part of an incredible community. You choose which activities you want to try – whether that's experimenting with different sailing boats, pushing yourself in kayaking or canoeing, or simply enjoying beach trips to East Head, chilling on boats and late-night campfires with new friends.
The atmosphere at Inferno is more relaxed and flexible than our younger camps, reflecting the fact that you're nearly adults. There's time to relax with friends, space to think and opportunities to engage in deeper conversations about faith, identity and the big questions that matter most at this stage of life.
Each evening, we bring in inspirational speakers who tackle real issues head-on. Their talks are followed by relaxed discussions where nothing is off-limits – doubt, purpose, relationships, suffering, social justice and what following Jesus actually looks like when you're navigating college, relationships and a complex world.
Whether you're rock-solid in your faith, full of questions or somewhere in the middle, Inferno provides a safe space to explore, challenge and grow. The week also includes legendary activities like our night-time invasion game 'Raid the Ship', DVD nights and whatever else the theme brings. This isn't just another camp – it's a week that could shape the rest of your life.
Freedom to Explore
Inferno respects that you're nearly adults. You have genuine freedom to choose your activities, manage your own time and engage at whatever level feels right. Want to go all-in on water sports? Perfect. Prefer to spend time in conversation, on beach walks or just hanging out? That's completely valid too. Your week, your way.
Honest Faith for Real Life
The evening talks at Inferno don't shy away from difficult topics. Our speakers bring fresh perspectives on what it means to follow Jesus in today's world – addressing doubt, suffering, relationships, justice and purpose with honesty and depth. Small group discussions afterwards give you space to wrestle with hard questions alongside peers who are on similar journeys.
