Sponsor a School on Camp

When you plan your offsite or retreat we’d love you to make a corporate donation on top.

Our accomodation rates are very reasonable and just covers our costs. We hope this enables you to make an additional donation, 100% of which goes into our priority fund for kids and communities who can’t afford to come on camp.
