This year, the church is abosrbing a portion of the camp fees & coach fares to ease the financial burden for our campers as we recognise the importance of the community coming together for spiritual growth and fellowship.
The camp fees are higher due to the following reasons:
- Overall increase in costs, including hotel rates in Malaysia
- An unexpected rise in the Service Tax in Malaysia from March 2024
- Last year's camp fee was calculated based on 4 days and 3 nights using pre-covid rates. However, this year's camp will extend to 5 days and 4 nights.
Are there special room rates for additional nights pre/post camp?
The hotel will make the following rates below available for camp goers.
| Single Room | RM 280* (breakfast included) |
