Church Camp Facilities & On-Site Experience
Accommodation & site layout for a church camp
Two distinct accommodation areas* make it simple to separate age groups or genders at night. Leaders’ houses sit near dorms for duty of care. The layout keeps your church camp calm, secure and easy to supervise after lights-out.
*Access to both venue is subject to our exclusive-use policy.
Meeting & worship spaces for your church camp
With a large hall for full-group sessions, smaller rooms for electives or prayer, and outdoor campfire areas for evening worship, our flexible spaces let your church camp move smoothly from teaching to response.
Activities that deepen your church camp message
From field and water games to leadership challenges and mindful walks, activities can be debriefed to connect with Scripture and your theme. Build unity, trust and courage, then link lessons back to the heart of your church camp.
Food & catering for your church camp
Pick catered church camp menus (dietary needs welcome) or go self-catered in fitted kitchens sized to your group. Crockery/cutlery hire is available to simplify your church camp setup.
Safety & risk management for a church camp
We prioritise safety with clear procedures, accessible first-aid and activity guidelines. Facilitated activities are run by trained staff; DIY groups must nominate water-watchers where relevant and bring a first-aid kit. The site design supports quick head-counts and smooth curfews, ideal for a responsible church camp.
