History
In the USA, Summit Ministries runs worldview formation retreats for college students. During the 1990's a handful of graduates gained permission to do something similar for high schoolers, and so began Worldview Academy. In July 2019, Geoff Westlake, Jenni DeVries, Justin DeVries (16) and Pippa Westlake (17) attended a Worldview Academy Leadership Camp in Cedarville Ohio, and were inspired to bring the experience to Australia.
The first Worldview Australia Leadership camp ran in January 2021 in Western Australia.

'I have been on 50 Camps in my 17 years of life, and this has to be one of the best.
It taught me how to properly read and understand the Bible, and gave me the tools and experience to share what I have learnt with others.'
- Pippa
The worldview camp I attended was, in a word, phenomenal! The lectures absorbing, the staff approachable, professional and humble, the music uplifting, the activities fun and challenging, the friendships solid, the conversations inspiring, the scriptures upheld.
