The Y Camp Adair is one of NZ's oldest and largest camps and we would love to host your group!

Established in 1913, The Y Camp Adair (formerly known as the YMCA) in Hunua has provided thousands of Kiwis the opportunity to develop themselves using the great outdoors. Overlooking the stunning Hunua Ranges Regional Park, YMCA Camp Adair covers 100 acres and includes four self-contained areas that can accommodate a total of 434 people.

At The Y Camp Adair, we love welcoming people from all walks of life. Examples of groups that have used our camp have included (but are not limited to); community groups, family groups, corporate team building, church retreats, sports teams and school camps from Auckland and beyond. If you are a group of people who need a venue, you will find everything you need for your outdoor adventure experience – accommodation, indoor facilities, catering and most importantly our amazing activities!

Everyone who visits our unique camp in Hunua gets the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, open fields and the native bush of Auckland’s oldest regional park right on our doorstep.
