KCO Refresh – (NSW/ACT Synod run Kid’s Camp Out)

Imagine… space to breathe, space to think, space to explore …

That is what Refresh KCO 2011 is all about!

Elanora is a beautiful environment in which to explore God’s creation, nurture children’s faith and be part of an exciting program.   Children will have opportunities to be part of small and large groups.  The experiences will include walking, swimming, games, craft and eating meals together.

KCO allows children to be part of a wider Christian community, to meet other children and leaders and share in worship and Bible study as part of that community.  It also provides leaders with a chance to talk to others,  be encouraged and enjoy the weekend with minimum preparation but maximum fun.  Young leaders in particular are able to take responsibility with guidance and a special time on Saturday night is set aside for them to be mentored and encouraged.
