2026 Y4 OVERNIGHT CAMP $92: WEEK 7: THURS 19th MARCH to FRI 20th MARCH 2026

CLOSING DATE FOR PERMISSION, PAYMENT AND REGISTRATION: THURS 05TH MAR 2026

Our Year 4 camp will be held on Thursday 19th - Friday 20th March. This is an exciting "USER PAYS" opportunity to experience a sleepaway camp in a familiar setting, whilst preparing them for future camps in Years 5 and 6. Our camp will begin with an exciting day at Waimarino Adventure Park. Here they will partake in a ‘Big Kanu’ boating session, water safety-based games and teamwork, and adventure park activities. We will return to school for an afternoon rest, pizza dinner and a fun evening programme where students (and parents!) will have the opportunity to showcase any special talents. After a restful night's sleep and a good breakfast, we will catch the bus and head out for a day of exploration and a beautiful, guided walk at Ōtanewainuku, guided by the Kiwi Conservation Trust. We will be returning to school in time for the end of the school day on Friday. Further information about the programme and activities will come out closer to the time.
