WHO IS iCAMP FOR?

iCamp is for all youth who are in years 6-9 in school. 

WHAT HAPPENS AT CAMP?

• Team Competitions
• Inspirational Services
• Amped Worship
• Sports
• Small Group Time and MORE! 

HOW DO WE PAY?

Your key leader will send you payment info. You will then pay your church directly. iCamp will invoice each church for the amount total amount once all registrations have come through.

WHAT DOES THE COST INCLUDE?

The iCamp fee includes activities, all meals, programming, bands, entertainment, seminars and activities. Campers are responsible for their own transport (with your youth community) to and from camp.

DOES iCAMP CATER TO SPECIAL DIETS?

We cater for vegetarian or gluten-free diets outside of the normal camp menu. If you have other dietary requirements, we can provide you with some (limited) chiller space and a separate area for meals to be heated. You will need to bring your own named meals which can be stored in the allocated chiller space. There will be microwaves available. Unfortunately, no discount applies for ‘part eating’ of camp food.

It's vital that our medical team know all your dietary requirements in case of a medical emergency so please let us know when you register for camp.  If you have questions about special diet catering, then please contact the iCamp Admin Team. 

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF LEADERS AND ADULTS?

Intermediates will come as a church group with a ratio of 1-7 leader to young person. They will stay with their group and will be cared for by the leaders that come with them from their church (much like Easter Camp). There must be a key leader for every group. The key leader needs to be 18 years and over. Groups will be allocated a number of cabins depending on the size of the group. Some groups will be in the dorm style sleeping area. Key leaders then organise who goes into what cabin before camp. There must be a leader in every cabin.

Leaders are at camp for the young people – not themselves, so we ask you to:

• Make the most of camp by spending as much time as possible with your young people. Have fun with them, be serious with them, and be silly with them. You have forty-two continuous hours to bond with your young people, so make the most of it!
• Look out for your young people and your own group of leaders. You are responsible for all those registered under your group’s name.
• Help new members of your group to integrate and feel part of what is going on.
• Be available for one-on-one ministry to your own young people.
• Ask for help from the iC staff team if you get out of your depth in any situation.
• Co-operate with requests made by the camp staff and Safety Team.
• Make sure your young people are in the main sessions, which are compulsory.
• It’s your responsibility to make sure your young people are in their respective rooms each night and that your room is quiet come lights out time.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARRIVE AT CAMP?

Upon arrival a volunteer will meet your vehicle at the entrance to camp to let you know where to park and where to check-in. Each camper must then register with iCamp in reception area. Registrations start at 6:30 pm.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Each camper will need to bring the following:

• Warm Clothes
• Wet weather gear
• Warm sleeping bag
• Sports shoes
• Pillow
• Torch
• Toiletries
• Bible & Pen
• Towel

Some of the activities involve getting dirty. Please make sure your child brings appropriate clothing for this.

WHAT'S EXPECTED OF CAMPERS?

• Abide by the few simple rules. These are outlined at the start of camp. 
• Co-operate with the spirit of the camp and requests made by camp staff and Safety team.
• Be safe, and most importantly, enjoy the weekend!

CAN I GO TO iCAMP ALONE?

No, you must register and go with a youth group. If you are not part of a youth group, email us so we can link you up with one near you. We do not accept individual registrations.

HOW DO I REGISTER A CHURCH GROUP?

Easy, the key leader or youth pastor needs to contact the admin team to let us know that you would like to register your church youth group. We'll ask them for some information and then your group will appear in the online registration form.

If you have any queries, please contact the youth pastor connected with your church or email admin@icamp.org.nz.

Regards,

iCamp Admin
