Social Development Activities
Everything we do is designed to help children grow into great adults.
Encouraging Development
As part of our goal to help our cubs reach their potential, we open their eyes to the possibilities that exist for them. One of the wonderful ways we do this is to partner with businesses in the community for our social development trips.
We take our cubs out to see what people in our community are doing for themselves and for others. This can bridge the gap between school learning and putting that learning into practice. There is also always a possibility that our cubs will find their own passion along the way!
Over the years, dozens of places in the Wellington region have opened their doors to Pride Lands children for Social Development Activities.
As a thank you to each business or organisation that helps us out, as well as a certificate, we give them a complimentary Wild Card, which give 15% off all Pride Lands services for all employees, for one year.
