Because strong foundations last a lifetime!

Mission Statement
Foundation Matters is a Christian Charity whose primary purpose is to build Biblical foundations in the lives of children and young people. To fulfil this purpose, we run affordable camps so that youngsters from all backgrounds can enjoy time away at Pine Lake. Situated in an idyllic corner of the countryside in South Derbyshire, Pine Lake is a centre where children will establish strong foundations that will last a lifetime.

About our holiday camps
Our holiday camps are always great fun! Here at Pine Lake we offer both kids camps for children ranging from 8-11 years of age and youth camps for 12-16 year olds. Our goal is to ensure that every camper enjoys an action packed holiday, making friendships and memories for life, whilst exploring the Christian message along the way.

Excellent facilities
All of our activities take place on site. When the sun is shining, the campers will be paddling on the lake, playing games on the fields and working together in the various team challenge areas. We also have a specified outdoor area for Nerf battles. When the weather is bad, activities will take place in our Sports Hall when completed.

Excellent food
Our food is often a highlight for many of our campers! Our onsite chefs provide three amazing hot meals a day as well as refreshments and snacks. Seconds are always available for those with hearty appetites! We cater for a number of different food allergies – please see our allergy policy for more details.

Activities
We offer a range of different activities to guarantee there is something for everyone to enjoy! Each day you will get the opportunity to choose which activities you would like to take part in. All of our activities are conducted on site using our own facilities and trained staff.

What we believe
We believe in the inerrancy and sufficiency of the Bible. We believe in the centrality of the cross; and the need for individuals to repent and, by faith, receive Christ.

In the proclamation of the gospel, we recognise the urgency of calling all to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We aim to do this lovingly, without coercion or manipulation.

We seek to be faithful stewards of all that God gives, and to make our lives accountable to others.
