Archery
Archery at Chosen Valley Christian Camp provides an opportunity to build skills in a demanding and exciting sport. Using compound bows and professional quality arrows targets the development of concentration, accuracy and hand-eye coordination is enhanced.
The targets are set up so that 3 people can be shooting at the same time. To add some fun to this activity, use some balloons and once inflated, pin a few to the targets and see if they can all be popped.
Air Rifles
Air rifles are available to help your students and campers develop good hand-eye coordination and concentration.
Trampoline
The trampolines are great fun, and a favourite activity is seeing who can bounce the highest. Some very clever acrobatics have been observed on the Chosen Valley Christian Camp trampolines!
Adventure Playground
There is a colourful playground with a wide range of challenging activities for younger children, including swings, slides, platforms, bars, and mini flying fox. This area is good for confidence building in preparation for going on some of the more scary looking activities.
Outdoor Cooking
Whatever the weather, this activity provides an excellent learning experience, and everyone gets a chance to eat the results of their labours. Whether cooking pancakes on the portable gas burners or making damper over a wood fire, the children really engage in this activity. The gazebo provides adequate shelter for wet days allowing the activity to proceed regardless.
The camp provides all of the equipment and required ingredients for pancakes and damper, but feel free to bring along an alternative should you wish to be more creative and adventurous with your cooking.
The camp also has 2 portable gas BBQs.
Bonfire
Bonfires are permissible when a fire permit is available. During the summer, a request for a bonfire may be denied as the camp has to follow Auckland Council fire permit protocol.
