Description of classes:

 
Decoupage
There will be an additional charge of $3 for materials.  Suggestions of wooden items,
e.g. small lidded boxes, trinket bowls, mug trees (for jewellery), could be a shoe box or
other cardboard item.  We'll probably do small canvas blocks first week to give people
a practice and a chance to find their own item after being inspired!! :-)

Computer Programming

Jan Kaluza will be presenting an introductory class on computer programming 
this term at Karakariki. Class size is limited to 5 per session and ages 12 and up. 
We will be learning about 'Guido van Robot', preparing the way to programming
in the Python language which is quite popular in the market. To cover costs there
will be a $5 charge per child for the term for printed and other materials. 
If you have a spare laptop that runs Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer, 
it will help to bring that to class. Otherwise, just a small USB stick that is cleared
of any files please. The exercises can be done on paper if needs be, but access
to a computer at home is a definite advantage as some of the lessons will be 
homework for the next session.

Adventure Sports
Kayaking will involve getting wet and needing to bring a towel, 
change of clothes etc. 
The weeks we do shooting & archery at KCC, may be no extra charge if we can
supervise these activities instead of Mike. As with Team Building using the
confidence course, If we can provide the supervisors then he will tell us how 
to do it & we won’t have to pay extra. 
 
Habitat for Humanity
Nic Greene, Naomi’s husband has offered to do a session or two about Habitat
for Humanity. They have a youth section in this organisation. ou can also have a look
at their website: http://www.habitat.org.nz/ . Great for encouraging our children to look
beyond themselves!!!
All sessions will be activity based with a little bit of instruction but mostly learning
through doing. 
 
There will be sessions on
  1. Poverty housing. Why does habitat exist and what does it do. 
    Make a model house, learn to advocate
  2. Housing in the third world. How do other people live. Make a shanty model 
    and explain the environment people in Asia Pacific live in
  3. Habitat build challenge (flyer can be emailed to you)
  4. Brush with kindness project (preferably at the camp) doing some basic 
    maintenance projects that will be of use to karkariki. Would like to extend 
    this to a member of the group's community at a later date if we can find the
    right person. I.e. elderly person whose house needs cleaning, fence painting, etc.
