For decades our Family Camp was known far and wide....
...and we can now confirm that it's back!!
A weekend to get away from everyday life to jump into a fully catered, all-inclusive weekend of great food, awesome activities and quality time together.
The weekend will include the opportunity to hear God’s word in a family setting, as well as time to engage at a deeper level for parents while a children's programme is running.
The afternoons will give you the option to meet our experienced instructors who will guide you through a range of El Rancho’s favourite activities. Alternatively, walk the stunning Waikanae River track to the beach, check out the local cafes, or just press pause and simply 'be'.
Families come in all shapes and sizes....if yours includes Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties and Cousins....then that's totally fine with us. We can't wait to see you.
