Easter Kids Camp Registrations Live!
Our Kids Camps are a special time for children and young people to experience the goodness and the beauty of our created world in an action-packed, fun few days full of new friends, great food, and the joy of holiday camps.
These camps are run by our amazing team of volunteer leaders. As Christians, we believe in sharing God's love with the world. One of the things that this means for our amazing camp team is blessing the children and families of Northland with a loving, safe and exciting camp space out at Parua Bay.
These camps have run for over 50 years, with a legacy of young people growing in confidence and depth of character while out in the beauty of our campground haven.
We are planning an action packed programme of water sports, games, fun, great food, friends, singing and learning together.
We are really excited to see you at camp and we know it’s going to be epic, with activities to suit everyone.
Registrations are limited so don't leave it too late!

Sadly our contract with Break-Away School Holiday Program has come to an end, so we are no longer receiving any external funding to run our camps. Because of this we now must charge for camps, however, in recognition of the financial pressures many families are currently facing, if the cost of camp is a barrier to coming to camp, please let us know.
Payment details will be sent to you once your place at camp is confirmed.
If you would like to sponsor another person to come to camp please follow the link HERE to our donations page.

Need a ride?
If you are unable to get transport to/from camp, our volunteers may be able to pick up/drop off a limited number of campers from within Whangarei city. Please indicate on the registration form if you need transport, and be ready at the address provided from 3pm. Please advise us if no longer needing a ride to save a wasted trip.
What should you bring to camp?
- Old clothes including something warm
- Old closed-in shoes (for health and safety in the kitchen and in the bush)
- Footwear to protect your feet while on the beach
- Sleeping bag or blankets, sheet, pillow (mattresses are provided)
- Sunhat and towel
- Togs – Please bring both shorts and a shirt for water sports (both girls and guys).
- Personal toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste), any required medication (with instructions for use)
- Bible if you have one
- Baking for the kitchen (nothing with nuts please)
Please label your stuff - it makes it much easier to work out whose is whose if things get mixed up!!
While we try to cater for a 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.
Contacting us or your child during camp:
Parents are welcome to visit during camp. Please introduce yourself to a leader on arrival and sign the visitors book. Please let us know if there is anyone we need to be aware of who specifically is not allowed to visit your child. Please be aware that the camp email account may not be regularly checked during camp, but we will let you know the camp contact number once your child has been accepted to attend camp, incase you need to get hold of your child or a staff member while camp is underway.
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 or electronic equipment (phones, ipads, electronic games, cameras), money, and junk food all 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 or lighters/matches of any sort to camp.
Please speak with a leader if you have any worries during camp. Please be aware that campers who are impacting negatively on others’ experience may be asked to return home.
