Glow worm walks, kayaking, high ropes, raft building and mountain boarding are just a few of the activities kids can take part in at our Y (formerly YMCA) school holiday camps in Auckland. Each day is action packed, and there are heaps of opportunities to make friends and do stuff that your child has never done before.
Our holiday camps are based at The Y Camp Adair in Hunua, and The Y Shakespear Lodge in Whangaparāoa. Camp Adair is loaded with activities, from the high ropes course, to the thrilling mudslide, while Shakespear Lodge is a little more water focused with sailing, kayaking and water safety, as well as climbing, bush cooking, archery and heaps more!
