We have three exciting programmes on offer for kids and youth these holidays
The Explorers Day Programme offers our younger campers a chance to experience the excitement of outdoor education in a safe and caring environment. Outdoor activities could include Kayaking, shelter building, orienteering, or a picnic trip to Kaitoke Regional Park.
The Discoverers programme offers kids a chance to meet and hang out with campers of a similar age. The focus of the week is on outdoor activities which could include abseiling, kayaking, super fox & giant swing. Learning how to do these cool activities is a fantastic way to be active and develop skills to prepare kids for New Zealand’s great outdoors.
The Adventurers programme is all about discovering yourself through positive group and outdoor experience. Enjoy a week of activities which could include mountain biking, high ropes, surf kayaking, air rifles or bush walking. Campers are encouraged to take leadership roles within the group and take ownership of their camp programme.
Pricing
Y Outdoors offers a tiered pricing system for all Holiday Programmes at both Kaitoke Outdoor Education Centre and Raukawa Adventure Centre. This allows families to choose the price that works best for them. Traditionally, we have only offered a heavily subsidised rate to ensure access to all. This rate does not cover ongoing development of camp, upkeep, or cover the full cost of running the camp programmes. We are continuing to offer this heavily subsidised rate and now include other options for your consideration
HOW DO I SELECT MY PRICE?
Choosing whichever tier works for your family requires no paperwork and in no way influences the experience children receive. Simply choose the rate that is appropriate for your family. We also have an add on option in our online booking system if you can afford a little more but the tiers do not fit.
HOW ARE THE RATES SUBSIDISED?
We are able to offer subsidised rates through generous contributions from donors, alumni, staff and friends, and through the support of the YMCA Central, (the association to which KOEC/RAC belong.)
WHAT IF MY FAMILY NEEDS MORE ASSISTANCE?
Please apply for a scholarship to assist with the camp fees. Fee Assistance can be for as little as $5 all the way up to 75% of the total cost. Fee Assistance forms can be downloaded from our website. Using tiered pricing will allow us to keep rates affordable for a wider range of family budgets, while also taking care of the camp facility.
Naming your price requires no paperwork and in no way influences the experience your child will receive. If your financial need is greater please do not hesitate to apply for Fee Assistance. You can also elect to pay an additional amount by choosing a tier on the product page, then adding in an optional additional donation when you get to the add ons page
