In case you haven't heard we are running a Nature based Holiday Programme for kids aged 5 - 12 years these October holidays. It's based at Huntleigh Park, Crofton Downs.
Check it out on Facebook www.facebook.com... or Eventfinda www.eventfinda.co.nz....
The Everyone Out Holiday Programme will be a fantastic place for kids to play, explore and learn. Kids will delight in a free play environment. They will have the opportunity to follow their own interests in an amazing natural settling.
Some activities on offer at our programme include:

Our skilled educator's understand the benefits of free play and have the ability to support and extend children’s learning. Today's kids lives are full of instructions and structure, free play in nature is essential for children's brain development and physical and metal well-being.
Don't delay, places are filling up fast. Book your kids in today.
