Our children’s programmes offer kids the chance to learn valuable skills, meet new friends and most of all have fun! Programmes include:

School Holiday Programme

Enrolments open Monday 13 September

The Lakes Leisure children’s programmes operate out of the Queenstown Events Centre and include the School Holiday Programme. Plans are currently underway to expand into after school clubs in Arrowtown and Queenstown.

Lakes Leisure is a member of the OSCAR network and is approved by CYFS. This allows families on a low income to apply for financial assistance through WINZ subsidies.

The Term 3 Holiday Programme will run Monday – Friday from 27 September to 8 October.

The Lakes Leisure School Holiday Programme is split into two age groups:

Juniors 5 – 7 Years
Seniors 8 – 12 years

The staff/child ratio will be no less than 1:10 and 1:8 on away days. Our programme supervisors are over the age of 20 and leaders are aged 16 or older.

Children are required to bring a packed lunch or pies and pizzas can be purchased from holiday programme staff.
