PLEASE REGISTER!

The whole open weekend is free - but if you choose, you may give a Koha (donation) when registering - this will go to Staveley Camp. This is optional. Beds in bunkrooms are available for Saturday night, also campsites for tents or caravans. When registering choose the ticket that reflects what you want to do - i.e. day visitor, or staying the weekend - needing bunkroom or campsite.

Anyone can attend. The event is organised by Mid Canterbury TimeBank & Staveley Camp - for the wider community. We welcome TimeBank members, their families and friends, the local Staveley community and anyone from anywhere to enjoy this special place! We would especially love to see people new to New Zealand or new to the area come and enjoy the weekend.

All ages are welcome. Young children are welcome but need to be actively supervised by their caregiver/s. Older children and teenagers will love exploring the forest & hanging out with their friends. They are more than welcome to help out with forest tasks and engage in the activities on offer. For those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility, there will be activities and opportunities for you too. Come along and enjoy - you won't want to miss out!

Please bring your own food, clothes for all weather conditions (sunhat, raincoat etc.) and if staying the night; your own sleeping bag & pillow. If you'd like to help in the forest, bring garden gloves, sensible shoes, long pants and if you've got them; loppers, a handsaw and/or secateurs.

Mid Canterbury TimeBank, Keep Learning Mid Canterbury and Staveley Camp are collaborating on this 'Open Weekend' event. We look forward to welcoming you.
