The programme aims to provide a free play environment, offering tamariki aged 5 to 13 years the opportunity to follow their own interests in an amazing natural environment.

Our valued staff understand the benefits of free play and have the ability to support and extend children’s play.

Some of the possible activities available during our programme include:

- Exploring the bush, river and its inhabitants

- Climbing trees

- Hut building

- Arts and crafts, working with natural materials, weaving, junk construction etc

- Rope play, making swings, zip line and spider webs

- Drama and Storytelling, reading books

- Messy play, mud play, paint, gloop and slime

- Starting a campfire and roasting marshmallows or campfire cooking

- Working with real tools

Please note that there are no set daily activities, tamariki a free to choose to play how they wish with the resources and equipment available. If this is your child's first programme it's reassuring for them to attend with a sibling or friend.

The Programme runs from 8.30am - 3.00pm. Please sign your child in between 8.30 - 9am and return to pick them up between 2.45 - 3.00pm. Drop off is quite short to help smooth the transition between a child being dropped off to the time of the health and safety hui (meeting) at approximately 9.05am.

Our programmes are intentionally built around managed risk. Activities such as climbing, river play, tool use, and fire help tamariki develop confidence, resilience, responsibility, and risk awareness.

While we provide active supervision and clear safety boundaries, outdoor play carries inherent risk, and minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, cuts, and bumps are a normal part of active outdoor exploration.

Some of the amazing feedback we have had:

"....we thought the holiday programme was fantastic. My 3 girls had the best time and it was really neat to see them come home each night dirty and happy!!!"

"She loved it so much! She enjoyed how the coordinators created things. She told me that they taught her “anything is possible” after seeing the creations and ideas like making swings and zip lines and bubble blower etc. She came home so inspired!"

"My children absolutely loved it. They loved toasting marshmallows, going in the steam, the waterside, making bow and arrows. All of it!"

Session cost $70 per child.

If the programme is running but your child cannot attend, for any reason (including illness), REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN.

A 5% discount will be added to the booking of a 2nd, 3rd or more children's bookings when booked into the same activity as their sibling(s) (not cousins or friends). No full week discount is currently offered.

A 50% community service card (CSC) discount can be applied for but please email rachel@everyoneout.co.nz or message using Enrolmy to check the availability of these limited spaces before making a booking. Please only ask for this discount if our fees are a barrier to your child attending. If you can pay leave this discount for someone who can't.

Please note if you choose to pay by Credit Card there will be a small charge of 1.85% of your booking charge added to your total. If you wish to avoid this fee please pay by Online Bank Transfer. Account information will be detailed on the invoice which will be emailed to you once you make a booking.
