school holiday programme
We offer events during the school holidays! These events are open to rangatahi in Year 7 to 13 (age 10-18)
These events offer rangatahi the chance to connect with other young people, find new experiences, and explore hobbies in a safe and inclusive environment.
Please note, parents/caregivers MUST register on behalf of their young person.
We can also sometimes offer pick-ups and drop-offs to rangatahi in Ranfurly and Roxburgh. Get in touch to discuss.

The exact selection may vary on the day depending on technical availability and group suitability. All games will be selected and delivered in accordance with their New Zealand classification.
