Moorlands Camps Site

About Moorlands Camps

Nestled in the hills of Manchester, Moorlands Camp, a part of the Christian Camp and Conference Association can be considered the ultimate camp site. Moorlands Camp has lots of activities, including swimming, hiking, wall climbing, zip lining, and archery, bon fire, volleyball, and football courts. However, at the Leadership conference the focus will be on the Team Building, Challenge & Adventure Programme (TBCAP).

 

The Moorlands Camps TBCAP seeks to provide a multi-purpose recreational/training programme for professionals and young adults. The courses of the programme will serve as effective and unique tools for the development of individuals and teams within a controlled and safe learning environment.

 

Before functioning effectively as a member of a team, it is important that potential leaders become aware of the various personality types and the strengths and challenges associated with each. Awareness of communication styles, leadership styles, and conflict resolution styles will enhance team effectiveness. For this reason, team building activities will be preceded by a brief description of the different personality types and an “ice breaker”/role playing exercise used to illustrate and reinforce what is being said. These preliminary exercises are aimed at evoke self-awareness, and a willingness to apply oneself to behaviour that is conducive to team spirit, unity of purpose, and problem solving.

 

Activities will require participants to communicate and work together to overcome the challenges set. The intention is to present learning opportunities for teamwork, building good communication skills, respecting differences in others and solving problems needed by those who wish to be leaders of a student body community.

 

 

 

LIST OF GUIDELINES

  1. As Moorlands is dedicated to honoring the LORD, and as we are instructed in His Word that in all things we should act decently and in order, it is required that all should act accordingly and conduct themselves in a manner which is honoring to the Lord Jesus Christ.
  2. . Every effort should be made to keep the camp environment clean, tidy and litter-free. A daily clean-up crew should be assigned to carry this out. For pest control reasons, storage of food in dorms is not permitted.
  3.  Water is scarce. Please conserve.
  4. For security reasons, no outsiders are allowed on the camp grounds, except by prior invitation and with clearance from the camp managers. Any outreach meetings should be held in the community, not at Moorlands.
