Youth & Parent Great Escape Weekend – 29 November – 1st December
Exciting news – planning is well underway for our next Youth weekend away in partnership with Scripture Union. This is open to all young people aged over 13 and their parents. It’s a weekend to hang out together in the beautiful Tongariro National Park, challenge yourself with some really awesome outdoor experiences, explore what you believe, consider what that means, as well as laughs and lots of food of course! We had a great time two years ago on the last camp – this time we also have Ben! We have confirmed the lodge – leaders are all locked in. Price TBC, but don’t let that stand in your way – we will be able to provide financial assistance if needed. Keen? Please register your expression of interest by sending Zoe and email – office@karorianglican.org.nz as soon as possible.
