This year lunch will be provided by the same company who feed our soldiers at Waiouru Military Camp. If you have special dietary needs please ensure that you bring alternative kai to keep fueled during the day and the $5.00 lunch fee will not apply to you. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle with you as you may get thirsty during our physical activities. Please contact one of our Educators to indicate any special dietary needs as soon as possible.
Footwear and Clothing
With lots of activities in store, including a session with our friendly Army Physical Training Instructor, we will be on the move throughout the day. It is important that all participants have appropriate footwear such as sneakers or runners, preferably not jandals. Due to the often harsh climate here in Waiouru, we encourage you to bring a warm jacket in case the weather turns bad.
