About
Who
Central Easter Camp (EC) is for High School aged young people from Church based Youth Groups from the Lower half of the North Island. Youth Groups need to be registered to come to camp. Central Easter Camp is headed up by Baptist Youth Ministries (BYM) but firmly believe that EC is a great vehicle for any church to hook into and use irrespective of denomination we want to have a Kingdom view. Hayden Allen is our Camp Director but camp is organised and run by many volunteers and youth pastors. We are all passionate about young people enjoying an event together in a safe and heathy environment and seeing that they hear the story of Easter and Gods extravagant love and grace for us and all of his creation.
