ESA A Christian organisation reaching the corners of country Victoria

In action since 1883, ESA is Christian organisation that works in partnership with communities, individuals, families, organisations and local churches. Though the scope of the work of ESA is broad and diverse, the one thing that is at the heart of each activity is to see lives transformed by Christ. At the moment we are especially passionate about reaching people of all ages from country Victoria by running a variety of camps.

Our ESA Camps Appeal has launched! Every year, we see young people come to camp who may be nervous, unsure, or struggling, but they go home completely transformed. They find lifelong friends, safe mentors, and a deep connection with Jesus. ⁠

But running these camps and making sure they remain accessible to every family requires support. Our goal is to raise $25,000, which will go directly towards covering camp fees, supporting our volunteer leaders, and making sure we can continue this life-changing ministry. ⁠

Will you partner with us to invest in the next generation? Head to www.esa.org.au/donate/ to give securely via our website today. 🩵

One of the biggest things we want every camper to know is this: you can come exactly as you are. 🩵 ⁠

Whether you've grown up in the church or are just curious about exploring faith for the very first time, there’s a seat at the table for you here. During our camps, we have intentional moments like worship, small groups, and Bible studies — but there’s absolutely no pressure and no expectations to join in. ⁠

Just a culture of total kindness, acceptance, and a safe space to ask big questions alongside great friends. Head to the link in our bio to secure your spot at one of our upcoming camps.

At ESA, building a culture of physical, emotional, and spiritual safety isn't just an after thought — it's the foundation of everything we do. Every single one of our leaders completes comprehensive Child Safe training and holds a Working with Children Check (WWCC). ⁠

We’re deeply committed to creating a secure, supportive environment where every camper is looked after, respected, and heard. ⁠

Have questions about our safety protocols? We'd love to chat. Reach out anytime. 🩵

It’s National Volunteer Week, and we need to talk about the absolute heartbeat of ESA camps: our incredible volunteers. ⁠

To the cooks who get up early to make sure our campers are fed, the camp mums and dads who listen and mentor, the camp directors who work tirelessly to build a culture of absolute safety, kindness, and acceptance, and every one of our leaders as they spend long days loving and sharing Jesus and their lives with our campers — to everyone who volunteers to make ESA's camps and ministries possible, thank you.⁠

You don’t just give up your time. You invest in the lives, faith, and future trajectory of the next generation. We could not do this without you.⁠

If a volunteer or leader has ever made a positive impact on your child (or you!), tag them below or drop a thank you in the comments! 👇
