🗳️ Don’t just vote—vote with purpose.

Camp Clayton isn’t asking you to vote for us.

We’re asking you to vote for the thousands of Tasmanian young people whose lives are changed through camp.

This $25,000 grant would help fund the next stage of our high ropes and challenge activities—places where young people discover courage, resilience and confidence. Every climb, every leap and every challenge teaches them they are capable of more than they ever imagined. Those lessons don’t stay on the ropes course—they go home with them, helping young people face life’s challenges with a new mindset.

Don’t just vote—vote with purpose. Vote for the next child who will overcome fear. Vote for the next teenager who will discover confidence. Vote for the next life that will be encouraged, challenged and transformed through camp.

Then help us spread the word by sharing our campaign with your family, friends and church community. Together, we can create even more life-changing stories.

🌱 One more child. One more story.

Every child deserves the opportunity to experience camp, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, on average one or two campers on every Camp Clayton holiday camp receive assistance through our Child Support Fund. Behind each of those places is a young person who may otherwise have missed out on the friendships, encouragement, adventure and hope that camp provides.

With the cost of living continuing to rise, we’re seeing more families facing difficult financial decisions. Our hope isn’t to see more children needing support—it’s to ensure that whenever a child does need help, we’re ready to say yes.

🦅Help us make room for one more child on the zip line.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps another young person experience friendship, belonging and the hope found at Camp Clayton.

And that's a wrap 🥷🔥

BwBB has been awesome, and today was more of the same. We jumped out of bed this morning to glorious sunshine ☀️ and another yummy breakfast 🍳 before packing our bags and cleaning up camp.

We then heard the final study from Jayden, locking away the secrets of how to keep being Ninjas once we head home 🥷📖. After that it was time for some impromptu acting 🎭 that had everyone laughing before tucking into a delicious lunch of nachos 🌮😋.

To finish off an incredible weekend, we said our goodbyes after one last game in the stadium 🏟️💥.

What an amazing few days of fun, friendships, challenges and learning more about what it means to follow Jesus. Thanks to everyone who made BwBB 2026 such a memorable camp ❤️🙌

Wow. That was such a fun day 🤩
We kicked off the morning with some yummy breakfast 🍳🥓 and another study with Jayden 📖 before we played our first game where each cabin needed to smuggle one of our camp Uncles 🥸 without being caught 👀.

After lunch we had our massive ninja course 🥷 which had sections all across camp. We scared leaders on the Giant Swing 😱, had ski races 🎿, completed mazes blindfolded 🙈 and even went fishing 🎣. It was such a blast! 💥

Just before dinner we did some tower building 🏗️ and some lucky volunteers stuck their hands in mystery boxes 📦🤚 to try and discover what was inside 😬.
Dinner was awesome 🍽️ before some crazy stadium games 🏃‍♂️⚽🔥 to tire us out before bed 😴.

🥷 BOYZ WILL BE BOYS 🥷

And BwBB has officially begun! 🙌

After sign-in, we jumped straight into some awesome get-to-know-you games before hearing Jaiden's first study at the Ninja Academy.

With plenty of laughs, new friendships already forming, and the adventure just getting started, we then headed off to bed ready for a massive day ahead. 💥

Stay tuned, because tomorrow is going to be packed with as much fun as we can handle! 😎🔥

🏕️ The Power of Camp

What is it that makes Camp Clayton… Camp Clayton?

Is it the activities? The campfires? The friendships? The location?

Over the past few weeks, while recovering from surgery, our CEO Melle has had something that’s often in short supply—time to reflect.

One question kept coming back:

What is it that really gives Camp Clayton its power?

The answer wasn’t our activities, our facilities or even our beautiful location.

It was something much deeper.

Those reflections have become a new blog, The Power of Camp: It’s Not What We Do. It’s Who We Are.

It’s a personal reflection on young people, belonging, faith, and why we believe God continues to use ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference.

Whether you’ve been part of Camp Clayton for years or are only just discovering our story, we’d love to invite you to take a few minutes to have a read.

💬 What has Camp Clayton meant to you? We’d love to hear your story in the comments.
