This youth camp, took place at Forest Lakes, Otaki, from 21-28 January 1996. Youth aged between 12 and 18 years old participated in many different events such as conquering the confidence course, abseiling, rock-climbing, team-building activities, water-based activities and storytelling/drama. There is lots of youth signing to camera, shyness does not seem to be a problem!

Daniel Greenwood of Auckland nimbly negotiates a wall on the Camp David confidence course. Nothing unusual in that, but take a closer look and a second person stands alongside Mr Greenwood using his hands to communicate.

Friends for Young Deaf (FYD)
The Friends for Young Deaf (FYD) movement swept through New Zealand when Christoph Blum was appointed as Youth Coordinator in 1994 after training in England in the early 1990s. The theoretical components of leadership were put into practice on a real-time basis, merging with the Kiwi love of camps and outdoor living. Many of today’s young Deaf leaders participated in an FYD camp at some stage of their development.
