Another holiday programme has come and gone and what a whirl wind it was.

A few snowy days may have pumped the brakes on a few activities but the youth still got up to some fun.

We kicked off the program with a day up at Cardrona Alpine Resort celebrating all things wahine!

The youth rode some awesome snow and even met Cardrona’s GM Laura.

The rest of the week the youth gave back to the community by planting native trees with Tekakano, enjoyed a movie marathon at the Crib, and got crafty watercolour painting and making macrame wall hangings.

Planting native trees with Tekakano volunteers.

The second week was filled with fun starting off slipping and sliding in Alexandra at the curling rink, checking out the Buzzstop in Queenstown, and defending the flag at Cromwell Paintball.

We finished off with a festive party celebrating Christmas in July with festive food, and two movies.

Thank you to all the businesses that partnered with us, the kids had an incredible time.
