Nowhere to rush to

Take students away from campus and there is nothing left to do but talk, read and pray. That is the point.

  • Heritage: FOCUS ran camps across Uganda for over 30 years before building a home of its own.
  • For everyone: churches, ministries, families and Christian organisations.
  • First camp? We help with logistics and programme design, so you can focus on your people.
