Plenty of outdoors for Hurunui Youth Holiday Programme
Awesome autumn weather for the school holidays created an epic outdoor-packed Hurunui Youth Holiday Programme. It included walking Taylors’ Mistake, Bushcrafts on the Hurunui River, community gardening, a visit to Kaikōura mini golf and escape rooms, and outdoor games at Cheviot. Another First Aid course was on offer, and eight Learner Theory participants passed their drivers’ theory test thanks to the Vehicle Testing New Zealand Ltd (VTNZ) mobile testing centre visiting Amberley.
As always, the Programme gives thanks to The Rāta Foundation, Ministry of Youth Development and Council for making it happen, and the supporting providers this time were Red Cross, Eyes on The Road driver instructor, VTNZ, and Outdoor Ed New Zealand. The Programme also supported six young people who attended the Students Against Dangerous Driving (SADD) conference in Dunedin, and one young person who attended SHIFT hui in Wellington for Rainbow rangatahi.
