5 day programmes from 28th Sept – 2nd October (Week 1) for Juniors and Seniors.

In Level 2 we will have a maximum of 38 children in each programme, plus their 8 leaders. If we move into Level 3 or 4, we won’t be running a programme, and any money paid will be reimbursed. If you plan on applying for the OSCAR SUBSIDY, please do so asap, as it helps the paperwork from our end too.

Seniors also have the usual games, sports and baking as well as trips to Inflatable World, Ice Skating and a special trip to Hanmer Springs on the final day!!!

CLICK HERE to view Years 5 – 9 Programmes

Change of Policy: In order to be fair to those who need childcare for the whole week, we won’t be confirming any single day bookings until Friday 11th September. This is in response to some people just booking the special outing days, and others missing out on the full week of childcare they need, and only able to attend on ‘in’ days. We value the relationships and trust we’re able to build over the week, and place greater priority on leader/young people connections, than just entertainment.

We are thrilled to have finally fundraised enough to buy a van to replace the old Transit (known by some staff as the Tragic). Thanks to donations from Rotary Club of Christchurch Sunrise, 20 Friends of YAT who gave specifically to this cause and the sale of the van, we got a deal from local traders Hopman Motors on a 2014, 12 seater Toyota Hiace with just 100,000k’s, and a caged boot. It’s been signwritten by Steve from AFIX GRAPHICS and now just needs a name! (suggestions in the comments below) All 3 of our vans are used extensively for our after school clubs, holiday programmes, events, mentoring, camps and training, and we don’t expect to fundraise towards replacements for at least another 10 years! Thank you to all who made this possible!!
