YOUNG ADULTS & TEENS

Come enjoy indoor bouldering and lunch at Northern Rocks while catching up with mates, new and old, within the diabetes community. There are multiple climbing walls and levels to suit all abilities. No experience required as Northern Rocks staff provide an introduction and support as needed.

This fun activity was suggested by several youth and leaders, so come try it out in a supportive group or challenge yourself to a harder climb.

Diabetes NZ Auckland Youth Leaders will be supervising on the day so teens and young adults can have some chilled timeout. Adi, a very experienced Youth Leader and seasoned boulderer, will be lead on the day. (The DNZAY coordinator will be around).
