Forest Lakes Christian Kids Camps

Here at Forest Lakes, we run a five-day, four-night-long camp each school holidays for Kids aged 8 to 12 years old. We provide a range of exciting activities throughout the week to develop young people physically, mentally and spiritually.

Please note that we are not a part of the Governments OSCAR funding programme. 


For those aged 13+ please look at our Leaders page for more information on how you can volunteer at our Holiday Kids Camps. 

Regular updates are posted to the Kids Camp Instagram and Facebook page.

​Activities
Flying Foxes, Gladiator, Water Slide, Mud Slide, Horse-Riding, Kayaks, Go-Karts, Confidence Course, Archery, and lots more! Our experienced staff are qualified activity instructors.

Cabins

Campers are separated into single-sex cabins of 5 to 9 children. Each cabin has one or two volunteer leaders who are responsible for monitoring the cabin and the campers for the duration of the Camp. Campers sleep in the same cabin as their leaders or their leaders will be in a cabin next door. Cabins will eat meals together, sit together in team lines + chapel, participate in games and more.
