WILDLIFE: GRADES 10 - 12
19TH - 21ST JANUARY 2023
A week like no other, hanging out with your friends, making new friendships and having the greatest time of your life!
Creating memories that will last a lifetime… a week that will absolutely CHANGE YOUR LIFE… that’s right: SUMMERCAMP 2023!
This is one of our favourite weeks of the year. Over the years, thousands can testify to what God has done in their own life, families & schools at summer camps. What can usually take months or even years, God can do in a moment at Summercamp!
Young people will have the opportunity through bible based messages from our youth pastors to discover and learn values about identity, friendships, life choices, positive relationships, learning to get back up from setbacks and so much more.
We do whatever we can to encourage and empower young people to make wise decisions in life that will help them to live out their God-given purpose and calling. All in all, having copious amounts of fun and laughter with incredible sessions, fun games in their groups, and time to spend in the water or enjoying the onsite festival area!
