A Māori development camp
Rangatahi to Rangatira camps help young Māori be proud of who they are, live great lives and follow their dreams. Provincial Unions run the camps with local schools, for Māori rangatahi of all genders. Each camp uses rugby skill development to teach life skills within kaupapa Māori.
The questions at the heart of the camp
Participants are encouraged to look at their lives and ask questions that help them make positive decisions about their future:
- Who are you?
- Who do you represent?
- Where are you from?
- Where are you heading?
- What support do you have?
- What support do you need?
Rugby skills, life lessons
- Catching and passing: focus, adding value, and aiming for and hitting your targets.
- Contact: support, drive, perseverance and never giving up.
- Defence: working together, courage, backing each other up and facing challenges.

Ask your Provincial Union whether they’re running a camp. Spots go fast!
