Keas:

The Kea Section opens the door for young people to discover the world. It is filled with a little bit of everything: outdoor activities, games, music, and crafts. Along the way, Kea meet new friends, learn cooperation and teamwork, and develop self-confidence. 

Land, sea and air-based activities… who could want for more… 

Ages:

5 – 8 years

Meeting Nights:

You have the choice of either a Monday or Tuesday evening.

Both nights run a similar programme. If you can’t make your normal meeting night any given week then you can usually attend the on the other meeting night that week, so you don’t miss out on the fun.

Weekly meetings generally coincide with the normal school terms.

Meeting Times:

1730 – 1830 hrs

Meeting Location

We make use of a variety of locations to make the best use of the outdoors.

We have two halls, one located on Margan Avenue in New Lynn and the other backs on to Brains Park (Albert Road) in Kelston. If we are going boating, we will generally meet at French Bay on the Manuaku Harbour or at Archibald Park to play on the Whau River.

The programme location and activity will be advised via the weekly and term emails.

The youth Award Scheme

Our award scheme is based around personal development, adventure and our community.
