BMAC Women's Camp is Back - 22-25 March 2024

BMAC Women’s Camp is an amazing experience that builds self-esteem, confidence, faith and creates deep connection with other women. Many women, who would never have had this chance, have been able to go to camp thanks to the generosity of their corps - and it has been a life-changing experience. Why not do some fundraising in your local area and give your women an adventure of a lifetime?

TINA'S STORY

Tina (50), from Levin, came to camp at the invitation of her corps officer. Although Tina describes herself as ‘confident and capable’, she says that as a bigger woman, she had hidden within herself for years. Tina's first challenge was abseiling: ‘I had the encouragement of my daughters Ruby and Anja who came with me, and that made the difference. I realised I’d never shown my kids that their mother had a body that moves. So, I followed instructions – and I did it!’

Tina doesn’t think she could have found the courage to tackle her fears outside the camp’s all-women environment. ‘Hearing the pride in the voice of one of my dear friends, and the genuine love and compassion in other people’s voices because they were proud of me – especially my girls – the shame just dropped off me. I thought, “It doesn’t matter what size you are,Tina, you are learning to love yourself!”’
