An annual event for men to renew their strength in Christ
Here’s a reminder of our favourite moments from 2024 :
What is BASECAMP?
BASECAMP is an annual event for men who want to know God better. Since 1997, men of all generations and from across denominations have taken time out together to hear God speak. Each year, men have encouraged each other to run the race with their eyes fixed on Jesus.
Choose the format that works for you:
- a six-hour recharge in Sydney;
- an overnight weekend retreat in the Mountains; or
- join us online from wherever you are!
Building Brotherhood
2024 Theme
Building Brotherhood
Life Together
The theme for BASECAMP 2024 is Building Brotherhood. We will be thinking together about how God has designed us as men to link arms and encourage one another in our life with Jesus. We’ll think about how we can be men that other men can trust and lean on, inspired and helped at every step by our perfect older brother, Jesus.

What some BASECAMP attendees are saying
Read a range of feedback from men who’ve attended BASECAMP recently.
“The content was particularly strong this year; Sam Allberry and Jonathan Andrews both gave fantastics talks that sparked some fruitful follow-up conversations with our gents after the program. We stayed on an extra night and had a shared reflection on the Saturday evening and the Basecamp program provide plenty of content to springboard our discussions, plenty of gents left feeling convicted, challenged but eager to journey alongside one another. The 3am mate concept struck a chord with a number of our lads.”
– Mike, BASECAMP 2024
“Attending Basecamp is always a great encouragement and reset. Having attended since Men’s Convention started in 1996 (!), I’ve been encouraged more and more each year to be more the man God made me to be than the one I am. This year, I was particularly instilled with the importance of having a 3am mate (and being one to someone else)! I’ve already come home and am meeting up with someone so we can develop that co-mentoring and support role for each other, even if that sometimes just means a quick check-in.”
– Andrew, BASECAMP 2024
“The whole day (city) benefitted me. I have nothing but praise for the day. The tone of the whole day was a blessing to me. The genuine, open hearted nature of the whole day. God and His Word are so treasured, it makes me treasure them more. BASECAMP is a breath of fresh air for weary men.”
– Jason, BASECAMP 2024
“Was encouraged and challenged to see the importance of investing deeply into my brotherly friendships. I want to put into practise what I learnt and was challenged, which has started with making some face to face hangouts with my 3am friends..”
– Hamish, BASECAMP 2024
