Our conferences are for the deepening of spiritual life, and we welcome all who would seek to find more of God. People interested in the Baptism in the Spirit, healing and deliverance are particularly invited to attend and many have found that God has met them in significant ways and their lives have been permanently changed.
We run two camp events each summer, in July and August. The 2012 dates are:
- July: Monday 9th through Saturday 14th
- August: Monday 31st July through Saturday 4th August
The closing date for bookings is 17th June for July camp and 22nd July for August camp.

Packs of booking forms will be sent to all churches / groups and other interested parties in advance of bookings being accepted. Initially booking forms must be mailed to the address shown on the booking form.
