Give your kids a week away – somewhere they can be challenged, have fun, be safe and learn about God. Each school holidays we run camps for kids 7-12 years old. These residential camps are packed with a wide range of outdoor activities, fun games and crafts and include a creative and energetic guest communicator who shares the Gospel message and stories from the bible.

On-site leaders provide 24 hour care and supervision and a “camp mum” is on hand for scrapes, bruises and medical needs. At our children’s camps we have an average of one leaders to every 5 campers. This provides close supervision of activities and lots of personal attention to the needs of individual campers.
