Some places stay with you forever and Pōnui Island is one of them.  

For one incredible week, you’ll be part of a tight-knit crew, living off the grid on a private island in the Hauraki Gulf. No Wi-Fi, no city noise, just friends, fresh adventures, and space to think, breathe, and grow.  

If you’re new to Pōnui Island then you have no idea the fun that is waiting for you; sports, kayaking in the bay, sleeping under the stars, hiking to secret Island locations, classics like capture the flag and storm the heights, as well as discovering what your relationship with God looks like beyond four walls. If you’re an old hand on Pōnui then you know that all this is waiting for you AND MORE! 

At Pōnui Senior you’ll have the opportunity to explore different ways of connecting with God through creative worship, time spent in nature and diving into the Bible with fresh eyes. (Theres just something about reading Scripture to the sound of waves!)  

By the end of the week, you’ll have new friendships, unforgettable memories, and a deeper sense of what faith looks like in your own life. If you’re ready to unplug, explore, and connect this is your invitation.  

Pōnui is calling – are you in?
