about christian camping new zealand

Christian Camping is committed to encouraging a holistic approach to life. Camping offers unquestionable benefits to the personal and social development of those participating in its programmes. “Challenge by choice” is always encouraged as these experiences build into the character of a child for life.  New Zealand had its organizational beginnings at a meeting in 1976 at Kiwi Ranch in Rotorua.
