Plenty of school holiday activities coming up

September 19th, 2013

As usual schools and Sport Tasman have organised a good range of "Boredom Buster" programmes to keep kids entertained and challenged during the up-coming school holidays.

Elite Care:
This is an Oscar approved programme, providing a fun and an affordable experience for children, run by Brynn Harris or Vaughan Creighton at Aniwaniwa Parklands School.

Activities include a Takaka experience, Master Chef cook off, fun fair day and heaps more. Twenty spaces are available. For information, phone 37, email or visit www.kidpower.org.nz.

Elite Care is for ages 5-13 years, runs from 30 September – 12 October 2013, 8.30am – 5.30pm each day, and costs $32.50 per day.

Kiwi Flyers:
This will be run at the Motueka Recreation Centre, and includes activities like rock climbing, skating, target shooting, baking and crafts.

Kids will build new friendships, learn new skills and just have plain old fun. The programme is CYF approved and WINZ subsidies apply for many working families. Places are limited. Contact Jody Maru, or .

Kiwi Flyers will run from 30 September – 11 October, 8.30am – 4.00pm each day. The cost is $28.50 per day, and is for ages 5 - 13 years, with groups of seniors and juniors.
