Wednesday Aug 17, Adventure Sports

ADVENTURE SPORTS

On Wednesday Adventure Sports is going kayaking.  We will be starting class at 10:00am to be sure we have enough time to get on the water and do our challenges and get back and get changed for the next class.  If your child is in Adventure Sports they need to be ready to go at 10:00am.  Ready to go means wearing clothes they are going to get wet in.  A wetsuit is great if they have one otherwise shorts, a thermal and warm sweatshirt.  Hopefully only their bottoms will get wet!  They do not need shoes, barefeet please, and they need to put their change of clothes and towel in the hall so they can get their gear and get changed ready for their next class as soon as they get back.

We will meet on the other side of the carpark by the bird aviaries/lifejackets.

Also. I have a limited number of free range eggs available at $5 a doz if people are interested they can email me on yzzatk@xtra.co.nz.  First in, first served.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Regards

Kim

PS  Please email me to let me know if you are not coming so we don't hang around waiting for you.

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 Poverty housing. Why does habitat exist and what does it do.  Make a model house, learn to advocate Housing in the third world. How do other people live. Make a shanty model  and explain the environment people in Asia Pacific live in Habitat build challenge (flyer can be emailed to you) 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.

Quick Notes before the First Meeting

Just a few notices before you come tomorrow:

1)we will have the current name and address list there – please CHECK your details are correct and/or update them if they are wrong, or Add your details if you are new to the group and wish to receive our emails.

2)Mary’s cooking classes will be making LUNCH to SELL to you all – if you would like it!!

For $5 per family, you can buy –pumpkin soup, garlic bread and a biscuit! Pretty good eh!!! So you don’t have to pack a lunch tomorrow!

3) The Karakariki cost this term will be $7 per week, per family (regardless of number of children). So for this term its 6 weeks = $42:00 total.

We would really appreciate an upfront payment tomorrow if possible as it makes it all tidy, and simple.

4) Please come prepared to take your class, classes, tomorrow/ be in your classes tomorrow.

5) Adventure sports begins tomorrow with Team Building and a confidence course. We will go caving twice this term and these times will incur a greater charge. We will have more details tomorrow as to which dates we will do which activities.
