With YOUR help, 50 youth & young children will enjoy a camping experience & participate in camp activities. They will ALL be treated equal.
Auckland
Camps are a FABULOUS tool to support and empower single parent families.
With your assistance, we can take 80 [or more] single parents, their youth and young children camping over the Auckland Anniversary long weekend and provide ALL our youth with 10-pin bowling & ALL our young children with a horse & pony activity.
Your contribution particularly assists larger families with 3, 4, 5 plus children who generally don’t attend camps or paid activities for the cost is multiplied. By paying children’s fees, ALL families pay the same cost – just the adult’s fees, and ALL children participate in activities making them ALL feel EQUAL.
..............
Through camps and child activities, parents get a chance to think of themselves. No matter how they arrive (shattered, exhausted, stressed), they always leave empowered, with new friends to form their supportive network, tips, hope and energy.
Their youth and young children count down the sleeps till camp where they connect and reconnect with new and old friends. We work at keeping youth engaged with family, their goals & dreams and a surprise activity is helpful.
Your contribution also provides terrific family memories & these families are remarkable and very grateful for your kindness.
I'm involved because I organise & coordinate this camp as a volunteer.
ASPT holds a variety of adult and family educational, social and recreational events and activities including camps, monthly support meetings, workshops and presentations with speakers on subjects unique to single parents. Knowledge, practical support and networking enable single parents, especially the 85% of the group without family in New Zealand or Auckland to function well in the community.
- Camp Sladdin is $10 per child. 3 nights x 50 children = $1,500
- Clevedon Animal Farm (we negotiated to book the whole event) = $500
- 10 Pin Bowling is $20 per child for 3 games. 50 x 20 = $1,000
