Welcome to ABS
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS!
Bored with the Christian life? Sick and tired of others telling you how your life with God should be? Want to know first hand how you can build a relationship with the Creator of the universe?
ABS (Adventure Bible School) is an outdoor based Bible School. It is run over six weeks and is aimed at developing the whole person; spirit, soul and body, particularly in the area of Christian living.
Sea, sky, mountains, bush, and caves provide the setting for our classroom. Through challenging outdoor activities designed to stretch you, we explore practical Christian living and how we relate to God, others and ourselves.

Will I be fit enough?
Activities are intended to challenge people at their own level, as fitness, age, and ability are considered. However, we suggest a reasonable level of physical training be undertaken in preparation for the course.No prior experience is necessary, but you should be able to run 3Km without stopping. Be prepared to be stretched both spiritually and physically.
