E-Camp2012―Welcome to the Jungle people! If you are in year 7-9 at school and want to hang out with another 900 crazy young people then E- Camp ‘12 is where you need to be. We will be busting out all the favourites: ski biscuits and rockets, animal survival, go karts, screen printing, the blob, and water slides, plus more, like sling shot paint ball and the furiously competitive soccer tournament! Not only do we have all the hardout activities but all the great meetings featuring our favourite worship team and on stage craziness. This year’s awesome NZ speaker is Jeremy Suisted, a self-confessed follower of the Steve Irwin fan club, who loves all things Jungle. Jeremy is all about youth and heads up a charging youth ministry in Cambridge. Prepare yourselves for a wild ride. E-Camp 12 is going to be good one!
