What’s it all about?
The aim of the camp is to provide for the special needs of teenagers as they face the complexities of the modern world. A camp enables us to have time to study together, under the guidance of older experienced leaders, the answers God presents to our needs.

For decades young people have been chilling out at our winter College Kids’ Camp! But don’t worry, we have a warm, comfortable building and grounds suitable for a safe and enjoyable week. As well as Bible talks, discussions and studies, there will be a varied programme that could include walks, sports, swimming and singing, along with other youth-related activities. There will be plenty of free time to relax, talk, or spend money in the Bookshop. Foxton Beach has a PUMP TRACK so bring your scooter or bike!

We welcome any young person who is at Secondary School, or who has left in the last year. Transport to and from Camp is arranged by the Camp in conjunction with the local leaders. There is no charge for this to campers attending Assembly youth groups, but transport bookings will only be made for campers who have paid fees on time. If you apply late you can expect to arrange and pay for your own transport.

Camp starts at tea-time (6pm) on the Monday and finishes after breakfast on the Saturday.

Bring some gear:
1. Bible, if you have one, and a pen for taking notes.
2. A sheet to use as a mattress cover, pillowcase, sleeping bag or blankets and sheets. Pillowcase and cover sheet must be used.
3. Clothes to include jacket, shoes suitable for walks, 2 changes of warm clothing, swimming togs. Please name all clothing.
4. Towels, soap, toothbrush, etc.
5. Necessary medication (e.g. for asthma)
6. Cake or biscuits to help make exciting suppers
7. Spending money up to $40.
8. Musical instrument if you enjoy playing one.
9. DON’T BRING electronic games, your sounds, unnecessary valuables, etc.
10. Cell phone use will be restricted and the phones required to be off much of the time when not locked away.

Fine print:
FOXTON BIBLE CAMP has a Health and Safety Policy in place in the interests of everyone’s welfare. Every care is taken by the Camp Leadership but the Trustees of the Foxton Bible Camp exclude their personal liability.

  • On the other hand, Camp Fees only pay for accommodation, not for travel expenses or food. You might like to make a donation towards these expenses. (A tax-deductible receipt can be supplied for donations over $5.)
