Camping

Camping is an essential part of our ministry. We run life skills, under-privileged, single sex, and co-educational camps.

We use Lekkeroord, Forest Way and Hobbiton on Hogsback camping sites.

The Benefits

• An "island experience", away from home in a safe environment.
• Part of a dynamic team.
• New enjoyable experiences.
• Knowledge is gained about self-esteem; decision-making; adolescence and sexuality; values and morals; prevention of abuse (both sexual and substance); and entrepreneurship
• New friends are made.
• The camp volunteers can act as mentors and confidants to the children and teenagers.
• Children leave with hope for the future having been in a caring, loving environment.
