Spotlight on the games
Crazy 88
Crazy 88 is a fast-moving team challenge built around bite-sized tasks that get everyone collaborating and laughing. The recreation team curates creative mini-challenges suited to the group and the campsite setting. Expect a blend of imagination, speed and teamwork—perfect for making quick friends and big memories.
Why teens love it:
- Short, creative tasks keep the pace high
- Everyone gets a role, from idea-makers to doers
- Great ice-breaker for new arrivals
Capture the Flag
Capture the Flag brings classic strategy to the campsite, with teams planning routes, guarding zones, and sprinting for the prize. It’s energetic and social, and it rewards both quick thinking and team coordination.
Why it works so well here:
- Clear rules encourage fair play and fun
- Big-group format makes it easy to include everyone
- The recreation team keeps the game flowing and engaging
Night games & karaoke
On some evenings, the Youth Base shifts into karaoke mode or hosts night games—casual, laughter-filled sessions where performance and play take centre stage.
Table football, darts and board games
Prefer a slower tempo? Settle into a friendly football table match, aim for the bullseye at the dart board, or gather a group for classic board games. These are ideal in changeable weather or when you want a social night without the sprints.
Beyond the evening games: tournaments and theme nights
The weekly line-up offers more than nighttime fun. During the week, the team also organises:
- Sports tournaments: Football, volleyball and a hexathlon run weekly—great for teens who want daytime competition.
- Campfire & theme nights: Expect bingo and quiz nights, BBQs, droppings, campfire nights, talent evenings, sing-ins and occasionally a live band. These shared moments bring the whole campsite together.
For ages 8–12: a bridge into the evening scene
Pre-teens aren’t left out. In addition to the main Kids Club (4–12)—which includes mascot-led meetups, dances, quests, crafts, bingo, hexathlon and an optional Bible club—guests aged 8–12 enjoy:
- A special mini-dropping adventure
- Their own mini Youth Base
This gives older kids a confidence-boosting space to start exploring evening-style activities, with formats and supervision tailored to their age group.
