Christian Youth Camps

Christian Youth Camps (CYC) sits on 38 hectares of native bush and pastures in the Waikato region, nestled between the Waipā River and the Hakarimata Scenic Reserve near Ngāruawāhia.

The site lies roughly one hour south of Manukau City and 20 minutes north of Hamilton. On clear days, views extend across the Waikato and as far south as the volcanic plateau of National Park.

The camp caters to groups of 50 to 450-plus people and offers a range of activities alongside accommodation and meeting or seminar spaces. Guests can self-cater or take advantage of meals prepared on-site.

With a focus on Christian faith and youth ministry, CYC has been hosting holiday camps, school groups, and community gatherings for over 65 years.
