Purpose​

Camps offered to and planned with residents in Woodberry Down are both local and residential. Some are centred more on secondary school students between the ages of 11-17 and others are for whole families. At the heart of the camp is the idea of service. We believe that everything we do in the spirit of helping others can be considered service. Lasting change and transformation takes place when we try to better ourselves and take action with others for the betterment of the world. Our camps are focused on helping us develop the qualities, attitudes and skills we need to better our societies, and give us opportunities to carry out service projects and plan new initiatives as a community. Family camps are also a wonderful way to reinforce bonds within families, and while each age group has their own sessions, there are collective sessions for families to engage in arts, crafts, cooking, and recreation altogether. The camps unite people from different Faith backgrounds, all of whom can share their beliefs, traditions, prayers and/or meditations with the group.
