Help Make Camp Twitch Possible 💙
Camp Twitch is one of the most meaningful things we do at the Tourette’s Association of New Zealand, bringing together children, adults, and families living with Tourette’s for connection, confidence, friendship, and belonging in a safe and understanding environment.
We work hard to keep Camp Twitch as affordable as possible through significant subsidies and community support, but we know cost can still be a barrier for some families.
If you are unable to attend, have benefited from camp in the past, or simply believe in helping create this special experience for others, we warmly invite you to contribute to our Camp Twitch fund.
Your donation helps keep camp accessible, support activities and experiences, and help more families experience the magic of Camp Twitch.
Every year, families and whānau from across New Zealand come together at Camp Twitch to connect with others who truly understand life with Tourette’s Syndrome.
Camp Twitch welcomes people of all ages, from primary school children attending alongside a parent or caregiver, through to adults with Tourette’s who bring their own families along.
One of the most special parts of camp is seeing young adults with Tourette’s step into leadership roles alongside the younger children. The children love having older role models who are “just like them”, and it creates an environment where everyone feels understood, accepted, and supported.
We also strongly encourage siblings to attend, recognising that Tourette’s impacts the whole family. Siblings are included in activities and often form their own lasting friendships and support networks through camp.
For many parents and caregivers, meeting adults living well with Tourette’s is incredibly valuable. Hearing real lived experiences, insights, and stories often provides hope, reassurance, and a sense of connection that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Camp Twitch is held during the first week of the school holidays between Terms 3 and 4.
The camp is designed to build connection, confidence, friendship, and community through fun activities, shared experiences, and group workshops in a safe and inclusive environment..
