We would like to acknowledge and thank the Community Organisation Grant Scheme (COGS) for their support and sponsorship of this camp.
Our speaker: Skylar, originally from Houston, Texas moved to NZ with his wife about 15+ years ago to do mission work. After obtaining NZ Citizenship about 3 years ago, is now happy to call NZ home. Skyler sees himself as a low key down-to-earth guy who enjoys doing DIY projects, swimming in his pool, playing pranks on his young kids, watching Baseball and witnessing “God transform those around me through the power of His word and the abundance of His grace poured out on His people”. He feels beyond blessed to be doing what he’s doing and feels privileged to be an ambassador for God's truth to those around him.
We will have our usual fun Saturday afternoon activities, as well as a chance to simply rest and relax.
Campers with a disability: This camp is for you!
We will pair you up with a buddy to provide friendship, care and support for camp.
Personal Care: Some campers require a high level of personal care and you will need to bring your own support person. This ensures your care continues at the high level you are familiar with. We will try to provide an additional buddy/carer to assist over the weekend. If you are unable to provide a support person, lease register as a day visitor only.
Helpers: For those who are coming as helpers, we welcome you with open arms! There will be time set aside on Friday evening to train you how to help your buddies. You will be fully supported all weekend by your cabin leader, the camp committee and an on-site nurse. We cannot stress enough how much we value and need our helpers.
We cannot hold our camp without you.
We do ask that first-time helpers complete a police check form to protect our more vulnerable campers.
Children and Teenagers: This camp is for people of ALL ages, and therefore children with physical disabilities are more than welcome! We will be running a children’s programme during the weekend if required. Please note that we will carefully select buddies who will work with children. There will be late nights, with an afternoon sleep on the Saturday. You are welcome to come as a family, and we ask that you please call or text Viv Riddell on (021) 294 0320 to discuss this.
