Lord Somers Camp, or "Big Camp", is an annual week-long camp for boys and girls held in Somers, Victoria, Australia.

Founded in Anglesea, Victoria, in 1929 by The 6th Baron Somers, the then Governor of Victoria, the camp has been running continuously since 1929, excluding the Second World War years of 1941-1946^[1] when the site was occupied by the RAAF. The 2021 camps have both been postponed due to COVID-19.

There are two camps, one for young men and one for young women, typically taking place in the 2nd and 3rd week of January each year.
