Get ready for an epic summer adventure on Pōnui Island—a place where long, sunny days turn into star-filled nights and every moment is filled with fun, friendship, and discovery. 

For one amazing week, you’ll be camping by the water’s edge, kayaking in the bay, swimming in the sun, and constantly looking up to see the stars. There will be wide games, team challenges, and creative activities, with plenty of time to explore, try new things, and make lifelong memories. And don’t forget the island’s special locals— we guarantee you’ll see the famous Pōnui donkeys, and you might even spot a kiwi in the wild!  

But Pōnui isn’t just about adventure—it’s about discovering more of who you are and who God made you to be. Through time spent in nature, creative worship, and space to reflect, you’ll have the chance to explore faith in a real and personal way. 

By the end of the week, you’ll leave with new friends, great stories, and a fresh perspective on faith and life. Whether this is your first camp or you’re a Pōnui pro, we can’t wait to welcome you into the whānau!
