In July of 1979 The Karakariki Camp Trust Board formed with the aim of

•    Helping the underprivileged.
•    Promoting and encouraging Christian principles and belief.
•    Providing a camp to meet the needs of small groups that found it difficult to book larger facilities.
•    Promoting & Developing Karakariki Camp to achieve the above.

To Achieve this the board took ownership of the old Karakariki School site and developed it into accommodation, hall and catering facilitates.

CampKCC exists to:

1.    To develop youth & children physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually through providing holiday programmes and leadership training.
2.    To Provide a safe & friendly place for schools, youth, church and other specialised groups to come to and meet the aims of their camping experience.
