Holiday programmes
Come and find out what it's all about! Bring your friends, bring your hats, we're going on an adventure.
Games, clambering, building, dirt, leaves, ropes, artistic vibes, moments of mindfulness, or hearing the call of the stream... This is a moment to get to know each other and relax in a new environment.
Open Days
In the Brook Valley & Marsden Valley.
See our Facebook for dates, or email us to come along on a free try day.
Enrolment for our full programme opens the week before holidays.
This is for children 5-12.
Activities are planned for this age range. However, younger siblings are welcome if the parent is there to care for them.
Holiday Saturdays
Every Saturday in the school holidays, see our Facebook for info and
the sign up link.
In Marsden Valley (10-12am) and in the Brook Valley (2-4pm).
For kids 5-12, intended as a drop-off.
25$/session.
All proceeds go towards sponsorships. Please note, these sessions will be weather dependent.

We're all about building the healthy body + healthy habits + healthy mind. So come join us for a meaningful time, one where we play around free as a bird, connect with the bush, build solid friendships, and learn who we are, where we are and how to be with others.
We gather in small groups (our max ratio per adult is 1:8)
What I need:
Students should bring a spare layer of warmer clothes, hat and waterbottle and a hearty snack. Raingear if it looks like rain, wearing clothes that can get muddy.
If you (as a parent/caregiver/whānau) would like to be an active volunteer for part or all of the sessions let us know! We're keen to make this a collaborative space with families.
