We are delighted to share with you this video made by Sport New Zealand about the camp we ran with the New Zealand S2C community.

The camp, supported by Sport New Zealand was the first of its kind in Australasia and is part of our ingoing mission to make the outdoors accessible to as many people as possible.  

"Discover the work of First Step Outdoors, an outdoor education provider showing what’s possible when programmes are designed with inclusion at the heart. This video features their Spelling to Communicate camp, a safe and supportive experience where nonspeaking tamariki and rangatahi can express themselves, connect with others and enjoy being active outdoors.

Thank you to First Step Outdoors and the Spelling to Communicate campers and their whānau for sharing their experience and being part of this video. Learn more about the Spelling to Communicate method.
