Monday to Thursday last week, cadets from around NZ gathered to take part in the Rally Cadet Camp at Woodend Christian Camp in Canterbury.
Cadets (teenage leaders) from Manurewa Bible Church in Auckland, Rutland Street Church in Christchurch, and Rosedale Bible Chapel in Invercargill participated in the camp which focused on growing and equipping young leaders with the skills they need to support their Rallies in the mission of preparing kids for life.
The camp culminated in a holiday programme hosted at Rutland Street Church for children from Rutland Street Rally and the wider community.

Sarah Chalmers from NZ Rally writes:
“Seeing the cadets' passion, capability, and dedication to connecting with kids was inspiring, and we were so encouraged to see that the future of Rally looks bright.
“This was the first camp of a new initiative aimed at developing junior leaders over a two-year program. The intention is to hold this camp every January, inviting cadets from across New Zealand.”
