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!
