BUG FUN ACTIVITY PROGRAM

BUG FUN ACTIVITY PROGRAM

  • Minimum age 5 years
  • Suitable for non-swimmers

Join us for some entertaining Bug activities at the ocean, lake or pool.  The perfect craft for beginners, riverbugs are intuitive to paddle and students are encouraged to use their initiative to discover fun ways to use them. 

A short briefing on safety and the basics is all that's needed to get people going (no long winded paddle drills!). We'll entertain the students with fun games and initiative challenges, with inclusivity and participation the key aims. Our programmes also include elements of local history and Te Reo Māori.

We can run the programmes at one of our locations around Tauranga and the wider the Bay of Plenty, or other location of your choice. Duration and content can be tailored to suit your objectives, budget and needs.
