Labour Weekend camp runs each year during - you guessed it - Labour Weekend!

Are you ready for a weekend of fun, a bit of mud, a heap of great food, and a whole lot of Jesus? We’re all about getting messy, making memories, and deepening our faith. Through lively discussions and teachings, we’ll explore our faith and how it fits into our lives. So grab your old clothes, your sense of adventure, and let’s make this weekend one for the books – messy, meaningful, and totally unforgettable!

We welcome all campers from all types of backgrounds. Camp will involve Christian teaching, so please ensure campers are aware of that and are prepared to respect the beliefs of other campers and leaders. Camp starts on Friday evening and ends Labour Monday afternoon.
