As you can imagine, running camp requires not only time & effort but also a considerable amount of money. The children's fees are minimal & we hope to keep it this way so most families can afford to send their children. Most camps we end up breaking even, although at times we have run at a loss.
If you wish to support camp in a monetary way there are two ways you could do this:
1. Child Sponsorship
Part of our vision for these camps is to give children a week at camp who wouldn't normally be able to come or have these types of experiences. Although our day camps are only $20 in fees, the actual cost is about $25-$30. For some families this may still be hard to find, especially if they have more than one in the family.

2. Big Ticket Items
Each camp we try to allocate funds toward building up resources that we can use at each camp. We have huge dreams of what we would like to do each camp & are conscious of limiting what we purchase each camp.
Here is the current list of items we would love to purchase in the near future:
Christian materials:
20 Bibles for use & to give away -- $110
20 yearly devotionals to give away -- $150
Equipment:
2 small soccer goals -- $100
1 Kiwi hockey set -- $200
1-2 Outdoor Gazebos/marquees for shade -- $200-$500
Clothing:
1 set of 20 printed t-shirts for adult & youth camp leaders -- $400- $600
If you would like to contribute toward any of these items (both Child Sponsorship or resources) please contact us, or you could put a direct payment into our account clearly stating what you would like the money to go towards.
Our bank details are: Far North Holiday Camps, National Bank, Kaitaia, No. 06-0337-0111400-00
Applying for Sponsorship
If you would like to apply for your child or a child you know to have sponsorship so they can attend camp, then please contact us stating the child's name, age & why camp would benefit them & we will consider this application and be in contact with you.
