Campus Church will join Cornerstone City for a combined service this Sunday, 22nd December. 10am at Riccarton High School.

7 - 9 February 2025

Join us for Cornerstone City Church Camp 2025 as we dive deep into Romans 12-15 with guest speaker Mark Hood from Redeemer Church, Hornby. Together, we’ll explore the profound truth that as a church “we belong to each other”—a radical contrast to our society’s “you do you” mindset. What does it mean to live this out in practical, sustainable ways? It’s more than occasional greetings; it’s about fostering genuine, lasting relationships of mutual love and service.

Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in faith and community. Register now and be part of this transformative weekend!

Am I able to pay for camp in installments?

Yes, this is a great option to help make camp fees manageable. If you choose to do this, make sure you use internet banking and please note this in the particulars by writing ‘instalment’. 

When does camp begin and end? 

You are welcome to arrive at camp from 4.30 pm on Friday evening. Camp officially starts at 6pm with dinner. Camp will finish by 1.30pm on Sunday afternoon.

Where will I be sleeping?

If you select a tent ticket on your registration form, then you will need to bring your own tent or caravan. When you arrive at camp, ask at the welcome desk where the designated area for tents and caravans is. If you select a bunk room ticket and you are an individual, then you will likely be sharing with others. Families and couples will have their own room. If you have specific accommodation needs, please add a comment to your registration form and we will do our best to accommodate these.

I don’t have a car. How will I get to camp?

You can indicate whether you need a ride on your registration form. Someone will be in touch the week of camp to organise this with you.

What dietary requirements are catered for?

We will cater for dairy free, gluten free and vegetarian. If you have other dietary requirements then please do still note these on your registration form and we will do our best to cater for them. If we are unable to cater for your dietary requirements, then we will be in touch.

I have already registered for camp, but am now unable to attend. What should I do? 

We understand that unexpected things arise. Get in touch with Victoria Goodman (victoriagoodman@cornerstone.org.nz) and your registration will be updated. We will arrange refunds where possible. Please be aware that we are unable to offer refunds after 31st of January.

Is camp family-friendly?

Yes. The venue has many activities for children and adults to enjoy. We also provide programmes for children while the adults are in the main sessions. The programmes are for children aged from 1 year old up to high school aged children. It will be divided into creche, primary aged children and a youth programme. In the main hall we will have a small area set up for parents with babies. 

We aim to have families with younger children accommodated in the rooms closer to the main hall so that baby monitors will work in the hall. If you are feeling unsure about accommodation arrangements, have a chat with a family who has attended camp before.

Will I have any free time?

On Saturday afternoon there will be some scheduled free time. There are also small pockets of time throughout the camp where nothing is formally planned. We also have a mixture of formal sessions and informal activities throughout the weekend.

Will there be wifi?

There is wifi at Woodend Christian Camp. There will be a password at the welcome desk. Please note that there is limited cellphone reception.

I’m feeling anxious about attending camp. What will be expected of me? 

If you are feeling this way, please take part as little or as much as you feel comfortable. During camp there will be a range of different sessions, as well as free time. Some sessions are more formal with a bible talk, singing and praying. Other times it will be informal and a chance to relax and get to know one another. Over the weekend, there are various duties that need to be completed to ensure a smooth running of our camp. Everyone will be assigned to a group to complete these tasks.
