Event description

Tent camping at coastal campground 

March 29th @10am to March 30th @2pm 
 

Join us in Tāwharanui Regional Park for a weekend of seaside tent camping and water activities! Experience the Tāwharanui Marine Reserve through snorkeling and rock pool exploring and hike the beautiful tracks of the regional park. Camp overnight at the seaside campground within the regional park, go for a night walk and look for kiwi! Designed for ladies 19 & up, a mix of adventurous water sports will be on offer, depending on the wind and sea state. These could include paddle boarding, body boarding, surfing or snorkeling.  
 
Knowledgeable female leaders from the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre will support you to take part in, gain new skills and knowledge in a range of adventurous water activities. No experience is necessary, the most important thing to bring is a positive attitude and an open mind. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned expert, all water-loving women are invited.
