“Mylor Adventure Camp has proven to be an excellent venue for providing accommodation for 170 people and catering all meals for 230. Staff were wonderful to work with, delivering as was promised. The camp/conference style accommodation provided very well for larger numbers and we could see capacity for more catering numbers. We would be very happy to use again. ”

Shed Talks happen during our Musters.

During Shed Talks, young people are given the opportunity to explore the love of God in their own lives, and in their relationships.

Care is taken to ensure that all content is age appropriate and suitable for young people of all backgrounds.

Can children bring technology to school holiday activities?

To help foster friendships while attending school holiday activities, we request that all technology, such as mobile phones, cameras, iPods, mp3 players, iPads, laptops, is left at home.
