The girls were lucky enough to get funding to help them attend camp. They absolutely loved it. They especially loved the worship, activities and how they got to know everyone. They loved the leaders and songs.They did come home a little sad to say goodbye to all their friends and leaders as they connected so well. Summer Kids Camp Parent 2020
Thank you so much for giving my girls this opportunity! Their faith has grown and they came home passionate about God, songs and things they learnt. They made great friends and loved the whole camp. They came home begging to go back to another camp. I’m so glad they had a wonderful time. Thank you. Summer Kids Camp Parent 2020
We are very grateful that our kids got to enjoy camp, learn about God and make new friends. It is also an awesome opportunity to gain independence in a safe environment and in their faith journey. A big Thank you to everyone! Summer Kids Camp Parent 2020
It was her first camp except the 2 night camps her school does, she knew no one and was nervous about it but came home so happy with such a good time she says she could've done another 6 weeks . So thank you for running your camps so well. Blast Parent 2019
Both of our boys loved Explode and both said they would like to come back next year, which is always a great indication of how much they enjoyed their time on camp. They made some new friends and learnt new skills (e.g. surfing). They gave great feedback about the camp leaders and said the meals were great. Positive all round. Explode Parent 2019
For our son, the camp has been a major milestone. The intentional, inclusive, caring, safety promoting nature of the camp culture made the camp a space that brought out his strengths, helped him safely 'stretch' to try new activities / meet new people/ grow in independence / experience success/ feel safe and confident and have fun and feel appreciated -it seems like he felt that he fitted in and that he was valued. Innate in all of this has been his faith experience - of living in Christian community for the camp week, of learning more of and experiencing God in worship and bible study and the experience of sensing the value his home church congregation has for him as he knew he was prayed for / that people had interest in how his week went (at his first Sunday back after camp, so many church folk checked in to see how camp was, what he liked, shared with him that he was remembered in prayer etc - it was beautiful to observe). Thank you for helping our son experience all these blessings. Winter Kids Camp 2018 Parent
I just want to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful leaders, [My son] has had an amazing time. As a full time working parent I thank you for giving me somewhere for him to go that is such a positive, caring and supportive environment. I am sure you will see him next year. Junior Blast Parent 2016
Thank you all for 'the best camp ever!!'. [My children] were sad to leave and both can not wait to come back next year. I am very grateful to all of the staff and leaders who made the week possible. My children love you all xxx Junior Blast Parent 2016
[My child] had an absolute ball. Came home full of great memories lots of stories and totally exhausted. Thanks for giving her a week she will remember. She can't wait to come back again. Junior Blast Parent 2016
I went to CLW in 2015 a little scared, knowing a couple of people, but not knowing what the whole thing was like. But getting there I was included straight up by leaders and campers. The atmosphere I could feel was amazing and the connections I shared with others made the experience so much better. I then came back this year, after being so down and feeling like God has forgotten me, I was helped by all to seek him again, and since then I have felt his warming love all around me, and for that I am eternally grateful to CLW. Without CLW I probably wouldn't be in the spiritual place that i am in today. CLW Camper 2016
A super fun week with lots of games and activities and at the end of the week you feel like all of the rest of the campers are your family. CLW Camper 2016
