Prices
The management of Youth Alive Trust have looked at the finances of holiday programmes over the past few years and it has been making a financial loss. We are often asked how we manage to fun such awesome activities for that price, and it’s because we only aim to break even. We have done our research and believe we have been one of the cheapest holiday programmes in the city, but with the increasing cost of activities, increasing cost of wages and not wanting to decrease the quality of the activities, we now need to increase our daily prices. We have also been stung by unpaid accounts amounted to thousands of dollars over a number of years, which is another reason we’re asking people to pay up front if they can. Our last price increase for an In Day was in January 2016, when they increased from $28 per day to $30 per day. In January 2017 the Outing Days increased to $35 per day to help cover the extra activity costs. Therefore from April 2022, these will be our new prices.
In Days: $35
Outing Days: $40
In Days + extension: $47
Out Days + extension: $52
Normal days are 8:30 – 3:30pm
Extension Days are 8:30am – 6:00pm
Breakaway activity costs are Free because of Oranga Tamariki financial support – apart from a $5 per day booking fee. Contact us if this is a concern and we’ll sort you out.
Oscar Subsidy
We do however encourage people to see if they would be eligible for the Work and Income Oscar Subsidy.

If you have 2 children, you need to be earning more than $1,600 per week and if just 1 child, $1,400 per week (gross). CLICK HERE for the full list of rates.
