A Day at Camp.

Easter Camp brings together over 4,000 teenagers from across the North Island — and behind the scenes, there’s a lot in place to make it run smoothly and safely.

‍

All young people attend as part of a registered church youth group, led by trusted leaders who know and care for them. These leaders are responsible for their group throughout the camp — hanging out with their young people during the day, sharing meals, sitting together in sessions, and being their main point of contact for anything practical, pastoral, or health-related.

‍

Each youth group sets up their own “tent village” at camp — a dedicated area where their young people and leaders stay together. Many groups decorate their space with signs, lights, and chill zones, creating a fun and familiar environment. Leaders also ensure their group attends sessions, eats meals, and gets to bed on time.

‍

Every morning of camp there is a leader’s meeting for youth pastors and leaders to be briefed by the Easter Camp team with important info for the day ahead and any key updates.

‍

Behind the scenes, Easter Camp is run by a team of staff and volunteers who oversee areas like health and safety, operations, food, worship, programming, outdoor activities, production, and more. While they help make camp happen, the care of young people is always led by the youth leaders they came with. When needed, our experienced Pastoral Care team is available to support leaders in caring for any young person going through a tough time.
