Our Aim & What CNI Summer Camp is all about

At CNI Summer Camp, we bring the Scouts Aotearoa programme to life through hands-on, exciting adventures that help every young person grow their SPICES (Social, Physical, Intellectual, Character, Emotional, and Spiritual development).

Camp is more than just fun - it's a place where skills learned throughout the year are put into action, friendships are deepened, confidence is built and memories are made.

It is a great opportunity for both leaders and youth to gain valuable experience and confidence in how jamboree campsites are set up and run. It is a great preparation for future adventures!

Young people get to:

• Spend a week camping outdoors.
• Help prepare meals.
• Take part in adventurous leadership activities.
• Progress through the Scouts NZ Award Scheme.

For leaders, it's a chance to:

• Gain valuable practical experience.
• Build closer relationships with their Scouts or Cubs
• Meet new people whilst having fun.

As Baden-Powell said: “The camp is what the youth look forward to and is the Leader’s great opportunity.”

This camp is also here to support Groups who might not usually be able to offer a full 5-6 day experience due to limited numbers or camping know-how. You're not alone - we're here to help make it happen!
