Adventure Section for Youth

Your Guide to Adventure: 8-10 yrs old

The Adventure Section at ICONZ Oaks offers a friendly and supportive environment where young people can engage in fun, structured activities designed to build skills and confidence. As part of the Boys' Brigade youth-education programme, this weekly session brings together boys aged 8-10 years old for an hour of engaging experiences every Tuesday at 6:00 PM. It's open to all boys in the 5-12 age group, with a particular focus on those 8-10, providing a welcoming space to connect with peers in the Gordonton community.

What does it involve? The session lasts 60 minutes and centres on age-appropriate adventures that promote teamwork, learning, and personal growth. Participants take part in hands-on activities that encourage exploration and development, all within the Boys' Brigade framework. No entry fee is required, making it accessible for families looking to get involved without financial barriers. To join, simply show up at the venue—no prior experience or special equipment is needed, though comfortable clothing and a positive attitude are recommended.

The benefits of participating extend beyond the activities themselves. It's a great way for boys to form lasting friendships, develop leadership qualities, and contribute to their community through shared experiences. In the Waikato region, this programme helps strengthen local ties by fostering a sense of belonging among youth. Whether it's your first time or you're seeking a regular after-school option, the Adventure Section supports social connections and educational growth in a low-pressure setting.
