We had a great month here at Tōtara Springs, with 4 school groups per week, every week this month. The TSCC Banquet that was held on the 19th of November was a great success in raising money for the new cabin project and continuing the ministry of Tōtara Springs, but more importantly, reconnecting and strengthening relationships with our alumni.

December continues the fast pass with more school groups in, along with our Youth Sports camp and 2022/23 Family Camps. Staff are looking forward to a week of downtime over Christmas!

The Registrations for Family camp have now closed, and we are getting ready for the fun-filled time with all those coming. If you haven't registered your child/children for Summer Kids Day Camp, Click on the button below.

Please keep safe over this festive month, and look after yourselves, your families and your friends!

The month of November has seen the interns help prepare for the end of the year.

They have also been learning to make coffee to serve at Family Camp.

It has been a privilege to work with the interns this year and grow in areas of ministry and instructing. They have taken on new tasks and challenges with such an openness to learning what it takes to put a kid's programme together.

Tavita has taken on the men’s breakfast at Family Camp, making sure this is something the men will enjoy.

Emma is looking after the kid's programme for Family Camp and is programming at the day camp coming up.

Kiana is helping to organise the women’s high tea at Family Camp as well as the final night boogies. She is also learning to roster the staff for Day camp.

Ethaniel, Hayden and Luke have been busy instructing and helping host groups each week. They have been great getting involved with our guests and have given each one a life change experience.

Our interns are nearing their finish date at camp in January. We can’t wait to see what they go on to accomplish and hope they know they have been such an important part of every camp we have hosted this year. Their potential and capacity continue to blow us away.

• Prayer for our communities, families and friends as we reach the end of the year, to be revived and refreshed in the festive season we are entering.
• Prayer for protection over all during the festive season
• Prayer for the vacancies at Tōtara Springs to be filled with the right people who share the same values and faith in Christ.
• Praise for the Miracle of life that we get to celebrate
• Praise for all the blessings and good things we experience each day.
