Summer Bible Camp
2026-01-27 - 2026-01-30 | Bridge Valley, 28 Moore Road, RD1, Wakefield, Nelson, Nelson, 7095, New Zealand
Bible Camp is our final week of camp in January, and it is an amazing and intentional camp. At Bible Camp, we do activities, water fights, games and more, but it is also an opportunity to learn about following God on a deeper level. This smaller, shorter camp has a great welcoming atmosphere and it’s a perfect time to make new friends. Whether you have been to camp before or not and whether you believe in God or not, this is a great camp to get to if you are interested in asking questions and learning more about the Bible and faith in Jesus.
