Kahu Youth wrapped up our 2022 Summer Holiday Programme last week with some wickedly hot weather.

We had such an amazing summer with the youth creating memories and having fun. Thank you to all of our partners and volunteers for making this year's holiday programme magical. Some highlights of the summer were downhill karting up at Cardrona Alpine Resort, waterski and wakeboard lessons at On Edge Waterski school, making terrariums at Mitre 10 Mega Wanaka, scooping gelato at Black Peak Gelato, playing paintball at Paintball Central and slip and sliding at the Kiwi Water Park. Keep an eye out in April for our Fall Holiday Programme schedule, it will not disappoint. 

Term 1 is here and Kahu Youth couldn't be more excited. We have some amazing programs happening in the next 11 weeks and would love to have you join us.

We have four Adventure Clubs, an after school program that will run for 10 weeks during the term from 3:30pm-5:30pm. Cost is $150 and the youth get to choose what activities they would like to do. It fosters friendship building, team work, and overall fun.
