PULSE, formerly known as BLAST, is a youth fitness programme designed to build resilience, strengths and foster positive relationships between youth and local community services. This programme is packed with unique fitness sessions led by community groups, including the Wānaka Police, Search and Rescue teams, Wānaka Fire Brigade, Wanaka FC Football, Sports Otago, and many more!

Each session will be a unique experience, with its own theme and focus. Each morning session will be followed by a free nutritious breakfast before youth are dropped off at MAC to start the school day.

Benefits for youth include:

• Build resilience, as you are supported to trying new things and get out of your comfort zone.
• Build connections, meet and engage with local community members who will guide and support you.
• Discover new interests, try a variety of activities from football to search and rescue exercises.
• Unforgettable Experiences, enjoy a variety of exciting physical activities tailored to challenge and inspire.
• New Interests: Discover activities that you might fall in love with, from football to rescue operations.
• Foster friendships, as you connect with your peers in a fun and supportive environment.

At the end of the programme youth will put all their developed skills to the test and take part in a fun obstacle course before celebrating the completion of the programme with a special cooked breakfast.

Youth building skills during the obstacle course.
