Camp Awhi, 17 - 21 January 2025
Lakewood Lodge, Huntly


The National Camp for New Zealand Burn Survivors

Camp Awhi 2025 was a five day event located in the serene nature setting of LAKEWOOD LODGE, HUNTLY.

The camp bought together participants between 7 - 17 years to engage in a variety of activities locally.

With the amazing support of generous sponsors, camp was made memorable and an enriching experience for those familiar and those partaking for the first time.

The diverse range of activities ensured there was something for everyone, these included:
  • Hampton Downs, Go Karting for the Leaders and 14+ group
  • Riverlea Theatre - The Lion King Production, with our very own Anna Crouchman in a leading role.
  • Hobbiton Moive Set
  • Rangiriri Hotel
  • Hamilton Zoo
  • Open Forum - Marshmallow roasting
  • Art session
  • Breathing and Yoga
  • Kayaking and flying fox

All of this is not possible without the generous sponsors and organisations that contribute to the success of this annual event.

The Charity expresses its sincere appreciation to this year's support:
  • PSL Fire and Safety
  • Total Calibrations Industrial Tubing
  • Acorn Trust
  • Wildermoth Trust
  • Braxton and Belle Savage
  • Melissa Paterson
  • Rubal Vans
