Forest Lakes Camping and Conference Centre is located on the shores of Lake Waitawa near Otaki, approximately one hour north of Wellington. The centre operates as a Christian camp facility offering conference and camping programmes for various age groups, including camps for children aged 8-12 and leadership programmes for those 13 and over. Accommodation options include the historic Homestead building, which sleeps up to 44 people in self-contained facilities. The centre is managed by Grant and Liz Crighton and provides activity programmes, though visitors should contact the operators directly to confirm current rates, availability and specific facility details.
