This camp is FULL and registrations are now closed.
SibCamp is a wonderful opportunity for kids who have a brother or sister with a disability or health issue to have a fun weekend away.
Siblings will learn strategies, share experiences, enjoy outdoor activities and make friends with other kids in similar situations.
There is a great need for SibCamps and our waiting lists can get very long. To avoid anyone missing out, we require a $25 contribution to ensure all available spaces are filled and secured.
Siblings should be aged 8-18 at the time of camp and must not have a disability or health impairment themselves.
If you would like to discuss anything please phone 0508 236 236 or contact Elaine at auckland@parent2parent.org.nz
This camp is made possible thanks to funding from Care Matters.
Volunteers needed to help keep Kiwi kids safe this Children’s Day
By joining us at your local Bunnings store on Sunday 3 March you could save a child’s life!
We are looking for volunteers to help out at Parent to Parent’s first ever SafeSquares event. The concept for SafeSquares springs from Kiwi grassroots, where farms had designated safe spots for kids to stand when there were tractors and vehicles operating nearby, or stock passing. These spots were usually marked by a paver.
We’ve adapted it for urban kids too – particularly in light of toddlers tragically run over in their own driveways. It’s also useful for older kids who are neurodiverse or have a disability.
Hosted by Bunnings nationwide, families will have the chance to decorate their own free SafeSquares paver and take it home.
We need volunteers up and down the country to make this event happen. Would you be willing to donate a few hours of your time between 9am and 3pm this Sunday 3 March?
We would love to have you! Just fill in our quick and easy sign-up form online, and we will be in touch with more details.

If you are unable to volunteer, you can still be a part of SafeSquares! Pop in to your nearest Bunnings store between 10am and 2pm on Sunday 3 March to decorate and take home your very own SafeSquares paver.
An amazing opportunity for kids aged 8-18 who have a brother or sister with a disability or health impairment to have a fun and interactive day where the focus is completely on them.
Siblings are offered the chance to share stories, learn strategies and make friends with other kids who are in similar circumstances and understand the unique relationship they have with their brother or sister.
Workshops will be followed by bowling at SkyCity!
Please note that siblings must not have a disability or health impairment themselves.
