Survival Camps

Are you ready?...

Confidence course, kayaking, air rifles, movies, gymnasium, quad bikes, swimming pool, bush walks, and heaps more!

Our aim
...is that your child comes away with lasting memories of what they have experienced, explored and enjoyed at our camp. We will be focussing on building strong, healthy relationships with each other and our group leaders. We have a week packed full of activities, action and fun.

This is a popular camp!
Due to heavy demand and limited numbers, acceptance of all registrations will be at the discretion of the Camp Director. The Director will notify you to advise whether or not your application has been successful.

Simple but full Gospel teaching is given and while staff and leaders are drawn from many different churches, the camps are interdenominational - they are not affiliated to any church or group.

Who is camp for?
Boys and girls aged between 11 and 14 years old.

Who runs the camp?
These camps are conducted by experienced staff from Children's Bible Ministries. Every effort is taken in looking after your child's welfare.

Will my child be with their friends?
Your child will be grouped according to age, in the care of a senior leader. If your child wishes to be in the same group as their friends, please specify their friend's name on registration form. We always do our best to accommodate these requests.

Details on camp fees
The fees for the next camp can be found in the fees and bus link to the right of the screen.
A deposit of $50 is required with registration form, and the balance must be paid seven days prior to the start of camp. We cannot undertake to hold bookings which are not confirmed by payment of balance of fees.
Refund of fees (except registration) will be made if the camper is unable to attend, provided that 7 days notice is given prior to the start of camp.

Arrival & Departure times
Each camp officially opens between 3 & 5pm on the first day of camp and closes between 9 & 11am on the last day of camp. Please collect your young people as soon as possible after this time, and no later than 11am.

Transport
If you live in Auckland and your child/ren are travelling by bus to and from Hamilton they will need to be booked on the InterCity service number IC6609 leaving Auckland at 1.00 pm on the first day of camp and the return service number IC6210 on the last day of camp leaving Hamilton at 10.10 am.
Note:
When making an InterCity booking an unaccompanied minor form must be completed for young people aged 11-12 years inclusive. The young people must have a copy of the form with them to travel on the bus to camp. This should be handed in at Registration. Our Camp Registrar will then ensure that the forms are shown to the InterCity bus driver in Hamilton for the return journey.

NB: A private Camp charter bus will run between Hamilton and Raglan. If you wish to use this service please have your child/ren at the bus depot by 2.50 pm on the first day of camp. They will be returned to the bus depot at 10.00 am on the last day of camp.

Interested in being a leader or helper?
We accept a limited number of young people aged 16 years and over to assist at camp as Junior Leaders. Email us your details here for a specific form to be sent out to you.
As you can imagine, after a week full of camp our team tends to be somewhat weary! Can you give us 2-3 hours assisting us clean the camp? If you turned up between 9-9:30am and stayed through until lunchtime this would be such an encouragement to us all (we'll even feed you).

How Can I Contact My Children?
The telephone will not be available to campers. If you wish to contact them, feel free to write, fax, or email them. Any phone messages will be passed on. We download emails (Please do not send attachments) and faxes three times a day. The young people love to hear from you so please make an effort to communicate at least once in the week. You can always send a fax from your local library. Campers mail: Camp Raglan, PO Box 6, Raglan, 3265
