The first Development Camp was held in April 1999. It was a "by invitation only" camp for those students who have received double gradings, or been nominated by their instructor.
The camp was organised to extend those who excel in Taekwon-Do, to encourage them to go on to become tomorrows instructors, tournament competitors and ambassadors.
ITFNZ subsidised the camp so that every invited person was be able to attend, with minimal cost, regardless of their location in New Zealand. Top instructors and guest speakers were brought in to conduct an intensive weekends training and study.
