Got a child aged 11-15 who loves the pool,? Our Future Guards Programme is a hands-on, three-day course at Coastlands Aquatic Centre where they'll build real water safety skills, learn first aid and survival techniques, and try safe rescues – all while having fun.
As part of our Sustainable Spring programme, Ngā Manu Nature Reserve is hosting creative kids’ workshops – build your own insect hotel or make a solar oven from a pizza box, and learn about the environment in fun, hands-on ways.
Spring is the perfect season to explore the outdoors together.
