WHY?
At SHBC we aim to share the Gospel message, “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that anyone who believes in Him shall not die, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16), and to support campers in their Christian walk; equipping them to live a life that is “true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable” (Philippians 4 v 8), all to the glory of God.
Special needs and dietary requirements:
We do everything we can to cater for special needs of any kind. please provide as much information as possible on your application form, and your camp manager will contact you if necessary to discuss further.
Accommodation:
Campers have previously slept in canvas tents in groups of 6-8 (in addition, 2 tent-leaders sleep in with campers at Junior and Inter weeks). However, from 2012, campers will now be accommodated in new ‘cabins’ complete with bunk bed platforms, kindly purchased by the Hampshire Christian Trust (for more information contact Jim Halifax here – show )
Meals, sessions and in-door activities take place in purpose-built barns.
Volunteers (with the excpetion of tent-leaders) will usually need to provide their own accommodation. For more information, please contact the SHBC secretary using the contacts page.
