The Surge & Sodium Team are organising a very exciting camp to Queenstown in the next holidays, from 22nd – 26th July. For Years 9 – 13, we’re wanting to give young people on the east of Christchurch a taste of NZ they’ve probably never had and an amazing camp that creates memories of a lifetime. 38 places for teenagers and 8 leaders. Charging the young people only $100 each, this means we’re doing a lot of fundraising towards the rest of the estimated costs! Pick up a flyer from our offices or speak to Matty Tait or Stephen Dodge if you want more details. Thanks
