I would like to know more about the costs and whether it can be part time while having a job… Thx
Hi Anneke, Thank you for your interest. Keith will contact you in regards to your enquiry
Hi Anneke,
It can be part time but it is a bit of a juggle to work another Job and be away on camps. If you send me your email I can send you through the cost info. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Sorry for my late reply. I am daughter of Nicolene de Wet, I had you as my leader in my year 11 camp with Mandurah Baptist College. my email is anneke.dewet@gmail.com
Looking forward to hear from you.
In 2011 I was a Warriuka Intern. The experiance was fantastic and really pushes you to become more motivated, confident, andventurous and out going. The thing I love most is how it is focus on God and gives you a whole year to really see Him do what He does best. This was an amazing time for me and I encourage anyone who read this article and is thinking about it to just go and sign up. The people are second to non and its one a year out of your life.
