Year 9 Camp
Each year, Howick College runs a very successful and popular Year 9 Camp Programme at our Outdoor Education facility at Waharau Regional Park. These camps not only provide an important opportunity for students to acquire valuable skills and learning outside the classroom, they are also an extremely enjoyable and memorable experience.
There are six camps each lasting three days and two nights, students spend one night sleeping in cabins and the other night in tents. Activities may include kayaking, sailing, mountain biking, archery, low and high rope activities, orienteering, frisbee golf, campfire and a range of other outdoor pursuits.
Camp Dates 2026
Dates to come.
A Year 9 Camps fee invoice has been sent out for the fee of $270. Please note that final payment is due by Friday 24 October 2025. Payments can be made through your MyKindo account.
As you will appreciate, there is a great deal of planning required to make Year 9 camps the successful event it is each year. Therefore, it is very important that you register your child's attendance by completing the Consent and Medical Form, so we know how many students to plan for. If your child’s camp dates (see below) clash with urgent family arrangements, or if for any other reason your child is unable to attend camp, please contact camp@howick.school.nz as soon as possible.
If a student is prevented from going to camp on the day of departure due to unforeseen circumstances, please phone the office by 8:45am.
All Year 9 students who do not attend their camp are required to attend their regular classes at school.
