Help us to provide a life changing camp for young girls in our community!
Auckland
Discovery Camp is a four day overnight camp that helps participants to discover their potential through adventure challenges and activities. The camp is run by qualified youth workers from the Sowers Trust in conjunction with Blue Mountain Adventure Center in National Park. We are fundraising for our upcoming girls camp, as these girls do not fit the criteria of our usual government funders. This camp is a once of a lifetime opportunity for teenage girls to participate in a range of adventure based activities such as white water rafting, caving, abseiling etc. Self esteem and life skills programmes are completed during camp. There is a follow up of a minimum of three months mentoring to support personal development and to enable these young people to put skills into practice. Generosity is an aspect of our Discovery Camps and young people participate in various forms of community service (past groups have helped to build a park for the local community, beach clean ups, baking and social support for retirement villages).
Young people who are selected are often struggling with issues of bullying, depression, low self esteem and anger management. Camp provides these young people the opportunity to discover who they are and who they truly can be!
Our target is to fundraise to take five girls that would not otherwise be able to have this opportunity.
Any donations you are able to give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance in helping towards this cause and supporting Sowers Trust!
Our purpose is to empower, equip and mentor young people and their families through building therapeutic relationships.
Our aim is to walk alongside individuals and their families, to identify their strengths and build resiliency through community connections.

Hi Hilary I am so encouraged by your support. Thank you so much. Because of the donations we have received in the last couple of days (both on give a little and outside of it), including yours, we are able to go ahead with the camp. Every little bit really does make a difference and your on-going support of Sowers is amazing!
