About Us

Here are the key details about the camp - what we're about and the people involved.

Organisation

Mission

  • to provide an opportunity for children to grow and learn holistically in a safe environment where they can experience a range of outdoor activities.
  • to train young people to be leaders and provide practical leadership experience.

History

In 1993, Chosen Valley Camp Trust was established to administer the camp.
