CAMP COST: $850 NZ ($650 US)

Includes all meals, and accommodation (including bed linen and duvet) at the Skihaus, camp manual, CD and all classes and activities.

REGISTRATION:

As spaces are limited please register asap to secure your place.

MALE DANCERS: Welcome!

TRANSPORT:

Bus : Turangi is on State Highway 1 and a regular bus service between Auckland and Wellington stops there a couple of times daily. Skihaus has its own bus which can be utilised to transport campers from Turangi to the venue (and back). This would require gathering enough dancers in Turangi at the same time to arrange for the bus transport. There will be a small additional cost for this option.

Drive : Driving directly to the venue is straight forwards and maps will be provided for those who register for the camp.

Fly : Taupo is the nearest airport and pick up from the airport and transport to the camp can be arranged for dancers.

Train : The train service to the village from Wellington / Auckland is rather limited at this stage. However if upgrades to this service occur, dancers who are interested in this option will be notified as information is available.

Partners Programme : For dancers wishing to bring their partner to the area with them, a light programme of activities based from Turangi will be arranged to coincide with the camp dates. Likely to involve trout fishing, easy tramping / native bush walks, hot pools, boats on the lake etc.
