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:
an overnighter in the Mountains; or
join us online from wherever you are!
Being in a shed with over a thousand men worshipping the Lord with everything they have is an experience I will never forget. Food was delicious, teaching was solid, worship was amazing, men supporting other men and the Holy Spirit was moving. What else do you need?

2026 Theme
Resolute
As Christian men, many of us know what we believe—but the real question is this: do we live it when the pressure is on? Courage is easy in theory. It’s much harder in the moment, when convictions collide with fear, desire, pride, or self-preservation. This theme asks a simple but confronting question: how do we develop courage under fire?
Scripture gives us raw, unfiltered examples. Joseph, pressured in private, chooses faithfulness and flees—while David, relaxed and unguarded, places himself directly in temptation. Peter boldly declares loyalty to Jesus, only to deny and disown Him hours later when the cost becomes real. The same Peter, moments before, lashes out with violence in the garden—his convictions collapsing into instinct. Then there is Daniel, whose life is marked by steady faithfulness under relentless pressure, public and political.
These stories are not abstract—they mirror the places men feel pressure most today: our ideas of toughness and masculinity, lust and adultery, anger, power, and control. Sometimes the pressure is public—at work, among peers, or under scrutiny. Sometimes it’s intensely private—what we think, watch, and justify when no one else is looking.
To be resolute is not to be perfect, but to be formed into men whose courage is shaped by the cross—and strong enough to carry it when it counts most.

Attendee Testimonials
What BASECAMP attendees are saying
Read a range of feedback from men who’ve attended BASECAMP recently.
Awesome, relevant, meaningful content. Un-rushed, plenty of time throughout conference to digest and ruminate on the teaching, conviction and inspiration. I’ve already registered for 2027 and bringing mates along.
Basecamp is most definitely a highlight on my annual calendar. In a life that is so fast paced with work, family and church, I long for that one weekend to just pause, surrounded by brothers with solid Bible teaching, encouraging testimonies and worship.
Being in a shed with over a thousand men worshipping the Lord with everything they have is an experience I will never forget. Food was delicious, teaching was solid, worship was amazing, men supporting other men and the Holy Spirit was moving. What else do you need?
I’m in a life and job and family moment where the pace is high and it’s hard to really find rest, connection with other men and an extended moment to connect with God. This is a significant annual spiritual recalibration for me, a return to my roots, and a breath of fresh air.
Everything (was a highlight). The music and singing. The sharing of life experiences. The panel and answers. The speakers. You got it right.
