Holiday Camps Outreach
Our holiday camps programmes hold a special place in our hearts. Through a week at camp, kids from all places and walks of life are able to come and meet Jesus for the first time in their life, alongside creating new friends and trying new experiences.
Sponsorship
Sponsoring camp fees is one way you can invest in the life of a kid to come to camp.
“A camper was talking about the generational impact camp is having on his family. His older brother came to camp, now he’s at camp and he’s excited that his baby brother will come someday. Hearing this was really encouraging that we are changing the lives of whole families.” - Leader
Leader Investment
Developing and inputting into our leaders is the backbone of our holiday camps ministry - we couldn't run camp with out them!
“I really liked being a leader because for a week I was able to hang out with a group of girls and speak truth into their lives. Sitting with someone as they accept Jesus into their heart is one of the beautiful things. Being an area head is rewarding, as I get to walk alongside a group of leaders and support and encourage them as they grow and develop in their faith and leadership skills.” - Leader
Leader Experiences
Our leaders are an integral part of our camp ministry.
Ashlyn GoodTōtara Springs truly is “a great place to grow.” I have been leading here for multiple years now as well as coming as a camper and I can confidently say that this is the place where most of my growth has happened. It’s somewhere that has been a home away from home for me - a place where I feel safe, welcome and accepted. Somewhere where anyone can come, no matter their background and find a sense of belonging. Somewhere that points to Jesus in the most beautiful way, and I feel so blessed to have been a part of it.
Amara JonesTōtara Springs is a great way to get to know some really cool kids, you never know the input you can have on someone's life. Not everyone comes from privileged backgrounds and it's a special opportunity to meet these kids and be a part of their life even if it's only for a few days, Sometimes it's the smallest acts of kindness that they may remember for a long time. Sometimes the littlest of things can turn your life around. I love the opportunity to have this input into someone else's life.
Make a difference
"When I was a camper, my leaders inspired me. As a leader my campers inspired me. Then there's all the other inspirational people you meet. It's like a never ending circle of inspiration." - Leader
Help us to continue the circle of inspiration and influence in campers and leaders lives.
