The waves of Raglan are calling—are you ready to answer?  

Join us for 5 incredible days exploring the moana (ocean), whenua (land), and rhythms of Whāingaroa Raglan, where adventure meets reflection and faith meets the ocean. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer who lives for the dawn patrol or you’ve never touched a board before, this camp is all about stepping outside your comfort zone, trying new things, and embracing the beauty of the ocean and creation. 

You’ll get the chance to surf, explore the coastline, connect with the land and local community, and even give back through meaningful service projects. We might even visit a local farm, getting a glimpse of life beyond the waves. 

But this week isn’t just about the activities—it’s about the people you’ll share it with and the questions you’ll get to explore. Through laid-back conversations, time in nature, and personal reflection, we’ll dive into different expressions of the Christian faith and what it means in our everyday lives. How do we find God in creation? What does faith look like beyond Sunday mornings? There’s no one way to approach these questions—this is a space to be curious, to reflect, and to discover at your own pace. 

All are welcome here. Whether you’re chasing the perfect wave or just hoping to stand up on your first ride, whether faith is already part of your journey or you’re still figuring things out—this is a place where you can come as you are. 

The ocean is waiting. Are you in? Sign up now for an unforgettable summer adventure!
