Every year families/whanau from throughout New Zealand come together at Camp Twitch to meet others just like them,

Those attending range in age from primary school children diagnosed with TS who attend with at least one caregiver to adults living with TS who bring along their families.

We structure activities into groups so that the young adults with TS can be team leaders to the younger children – the children love having an older leader that is just like them. We also encourage siblings to come along to camp and include a team of brothers and sisters in all activities also.

Parents are always grateful when adults with TS come to camp as it gives them a chance to speak to someone about the reality of life with TS and their insight is often more valuable than the information that the health professionals provide.

Camp Twitch is held in the first week of the school holidays between term 3 and 4..

The purpose of the camp is to connect through fun activities, friendship, and group workshops.
