WHO CAN ATTEND

This is a Christian based camp for adult individuals and families, especially for families of Brigade Boys and Girls and families who enjoy camping in a relaxed atmosphere with other Christian families.

A camp "family" may consist of any parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or other relatives, in a ratio of at least one adult to every three children. An adult is someone who is aged 20 years and older.

Come for a few days, or all eight days. Meet new friends and maybe meet friends you haven´t chatted with for ages. Enjoy the lovely atmosphere at Waipara, amongst like minded families at a holiday location, which is exclusive to our group.

There will be minimal organisation, but will include optional programmed activities for children, teens and adults. To promote a degree of fellowship and belonging, all campers will meet together for the evening meal.
