WVA Leadership Camp is an experience unlike any other for Australian high schoolers.
Students are taught by inspired teachers, challenged by creative activities, moved by meaningful worship, and welcomed into a community of life-long friends. Students join groups of the same age and gender for discussion of the big ideas. They are led by university-aged small group leaders from across QLD who have dynamic personal relationships with Jesus Christ, and the life skills and spiritual maturity to lead students in discussions throughout the week. The six days are filled with laughter, tough questions, biblical answers, and a deepening hunger for Christ, and fulfilment in Him.
