Games, movies and bonfires.
We have a selection of board games to pass the time till supper. Or you can project a movie on to the big screen and we'll provide the popcorn for your movie night.
The data show is available for your use, and there are also whiteboards at your disposal, but please supply your own white board markers.
A bonfire makes a great evening activity. Bring along your wood and we will find you marshmallows to toast. We need at least 1 weeks advance warning of your intention to have a bonfire as we have to obtain a fire permit. Please check with us in advance as weather conditions can prevent one being issued and this needs to be allowed for in your planning.
If the weather lets you down have hot chocolate and marshmallows and a games or movie night instead. We do have some movies and you are welcome to bring your own.

The Swimming Hole
We are fortunate to have 2 swimming holes on the Kauaeranga River within our boundaries.
The first one is great for young children, non-swimmers and for playing games likes ducks and drakes, or building a dam.
The second swimming hole, much deeper is ideal for confident swimmers and kayaking. Swimmers can cross the river and look back on the camp from the other bank.
We have single and double kayaks available and provide life jackets of all sizes.

Flying Fox
Hold on tight to the rope as you fly across the field. The Flying Fox is fast and high, and suitable for all aged children, aged 5 and older. Watch out for those wet sponges if you are "flying" during the summer months!
Canteen
If you need more sugar we will happily open Canteen for your group. We stock a range of lollies and chocolate, and priced so everyone can afford something!
Events Centre
Need a venue for a sports event?
Somewhere to train?
Or simply a wet weather option for your winter camp?
Come and use the Events Centre which can provide the solution to all of the above. This full size basketball/netball court can be easily and quickly transformed for both volleyball or badminton. A perfect place for indoor soccer or hockey. Nets and balls are available. Set out your circuit and take advantage of the space for training or lazily shoot a few hoops with other campers.
There is a table tennis table and snooker available. You can also borrow the indoor bowls and skittles.
There is a mezzanine floor with a kitchenette and below there are toilets and showers. There is a disabled shower and toilet and access to the building is also wheelchair friendly. The Events Centre can be hired for weekly or seasonal events, and there is adequate parking and vehicular access.
Go Karts, BMX and Jiggers
The Go Cart track gives everyone an opportunity to beat their best time. A chance to see how fast you can go without spinning off into the barriers.
Come and be challenged on the BMX track, with a steep slope to give you the speed you will need to navigate the zig-zag at the bottom before embarking on the uphill drag to get back to the beginning and off you go again. For hose who like to use more skill there is the BMX Challenge Course with cobble stones, limbo bar and a slalom poles for you to negotiate.
For those who prefer the more sedate ride the jiggers are perfect for you....but they also require effort from the driver. Potter around the track over the creek and back to the station.

Night and day-whole camp activities
The camp covers 16 acres of land and this is great for games such as Capture the Flag, or you can follow the clues and complete the orienteering game we can provide for you.
Been a bit damp, then enjoy our mud run - need rain to make this a fun activity.
At night Spotlight or Sardines can be played on the playing fields or in and around the buildings. borrow our games resource folder and be inspired by the games you can play.
Watch out for the mad chain saw man or the cold clammy maggots on our Burma Trail. We can lend you some of the things you need but you are welcome to be creative and add your own touch to this fun activity.
