Our Values
This is what’s really important to us – it’s what defines the ‘Mid-Wessexness’ of our camps!
Knowing Jesus
Knowing Jesus and growing in relationship with him is at the centre of everything we do. In all our decisions, large and small, we try to understand what Jesus would have done.
Diversity
We value and welcome the diversity of both individuals and the different camps we run, understanding that unity isn’t the same as uniformity.
Being part of a team
We know that we’re at our best as a team; strong and trusting friendships are built as we work with each other. We never knowingly let a fellow camper or leader down.
Safety, Security & health
The safety, security and health of our campers and leaders is of paramount importance. Every year we look hard at the policies and procedures we have put in place to ensure that they continue to be effective.
Personal Growth
We’re passionate about providing opportunities for personal growth through the challenge and experience provided by the various activities on camp.
To have fun!
So many campers love the experience and look forward to it as a highlight in their year. From the friendships we make and all the activities, the one image that so often sticks in the minds of those on camp is all those smiling faces!
What we believe
Agreed by Trustees April 2016
-
The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
-
The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
-
The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
-
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
-
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
-
The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
-
The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
-
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
-
The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
-
The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
