Help Us Make Camp Purple Live 2025 a Reality for Kids with IBD
CCNZ offers Camp Purple, a camp for children with IBD in NZ, providing a supportive environment that fosters lifelong friendships.
Auckland
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), are chronic autoimmune conditions that wreak havoc on the digestive system, causing debilitating pain and severely impacting quality of life. New Zealand has one of the highest incidence rates of IBD globally, and for children, navigating life with these conditions can be even more daunting. Missed school days, frequent hospitalisations, and social isolation become the norm.
That's where CCNZ steps in with Camp Purple Live, a New Zealand-based summer camp held annually to support children and teens aged 9 to 17 living with IBD from across the nation. For many, this camp is a first-time experience.
Camp Purple Live is not just a getaway; it's a lifeline. It fosters self-confidence, independence, self-esteem, resilience, and empowerment in attendees. For the first time, these kids get to meet peers who truly understand their daily struggles. They forge invaluable support networks and form friendships that last a lifetime, making them feel less alone in their journey.
Our next camp is scheduled for January 2025 at Camp Adair in Auckland. This camp is entirely free for attendees, made possible only through the generous support of our sponsors.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us ensure that Camp Purple Live 2025 becomes a reality for these incredible kids.

About us

Funds will contribute to campers and volunteers’ attendance at Camp Purple Live 2025, covering many costs including their travel, accommodation, activities and catering costs.

Fundraising Update: Join Us in Reaching Our Goal! 8 July 2024
We are excited to share that on the 4th of July, some of our amazing volunteers participated in the annual 4th of July run, hosted by the Kumeu Classic Car and Hotrod Festival in Auckland. Our volunteers ran a hotdog stall and rattled some buckets, raising just over $1000!
While this is a fantastic start, we still have a way to go to reach our ambitious target of $40,000 this year. Your generosity has already made a significant impact, and we are deeply grateful for your support.
To help us get even closer to our goal, we kindly ask you to share our Give-a-Little page with your friends, family, and social networks. Every share and donation brings us one step closer to helping our campers attend Camp Purple Live 2025.
Here's a sneak peek of the evening in Auckland.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a difference!
