Hey Everyone!

School camps are a huge deal for our young New Zealanders, camps have helped students find themselves, their interests, their dislikes, who they are and who they want to be. School camps help these young New Zealanders work in a team building or leadership role to better their skills. With the help of our awesome instructors these students thrive, they get to do different things that not everyone has access to. Many of our students arriving on camp have never done an overnight tramp nor slept under a fly outside. Making camp a huge experience.

Funds raised through this will go towards kids that cannot afford school camp due to the financial impact on their family, as well as covering operational costs so we can continue and be ready for when school camps do come back.

It started off being an absolutely amazing year here at Rotoiti Lodge, we are now in a bit of a rocky patch but soon we will back striving with school groups and private groups running around enjoying the facility and outdoor activities.

Any donations made will help immensely, and with huge gratification. We would love to be able to reduce costs for any school camps attending in 2020, fund those who dont attend camp because they just cant afford it as well as looking after the facility in the mean time.

We are so grateful of the money raised so far to refurbish the lodge and we want to see this place being used and loved for another 50 years.

Thank you,

You are awesome

Absolutely one of my favourite places in the whole of Aotearoa. I'm gutted we won't be there for NLDC this year, but looking forward to 2021 already!
