If you are aged 16+
Would you like to spend time blessing our local community this summer and fellowshipping with friends?
Saturday 3rd January - Tuesday 6th January
Arrival Time: 3pm Saturday 3rd Jan
Departure Time: 4pm Tuesday 6th Jan
Are you a 16+ young adult who loves Jesus and wants to hang out with others who do too?
Come kick off the New Year with us as we dive into what it really looks like to follow Jesus through worship, service, and everyday life! We’ll chat about what meaningful work is, how God calls us to make a difference, and how we can live that out as young people today.
And we won’t just talk about it—we’ll get hands-on! Together we’ll help run a kids’ day for the local community and pitch in with a local organisation that’s doing awesome things.
So pack your togs, bring your Bible, grab a friend (or three), and come spend an unforgettable few days with us!
The open day for families/youth/kids/whoever would like to join will be held on the 4th of January from 12-4pm, including lots of fun activities including our famous waterslide!
At HOLYground, we are passionate about growing young Christian leaders. We are interdenominational, representing many different churches.

While we attempt to cater for a basic range of dietary needs, it is very helpful if campers with particularly restrictive requirements are able to support our hard-working cooks by supplying some of their own food. Please indicate any dietary needs at registration, and if these are complex we will give you a call to discuss the planned menu.
Need a ride?
If you are unable to find your own ride to/from camp, our volunteers may be able to pick up /drop off a limited number of people from within Whangarei city. Please indicate on the registration form if you need transport, and be ready at the address provided from 5:00pm. Please advise us if no longer needing a ride to save a wasted trip.
Rules:
We need your help to make our camp a friendly and safe haven that’s fun for all of us!!! At camp we aim for there to be no swearing, bullying, fighting, name-calling, threatening, stealing or lying. Please leave bad attitudes, expensive equipment. money, and junk food at home – we can’t take responsibility for them if they go missing. You will survive without them for a few days! Also, while it goes without saying, please don't bring knives or weapons, drugs, alcohol, vapes, cigarettes, lighters or matches of any sort to camp.
Please speak with a member of the pastoral team if you have any worries during camp. Please be aware that anyone who is impacting negatively on others’ experience may be asked to return home.
