Parents, sometimes the best thing we can give our teenagers is an experience that opens their eyes to what's possible. 💚

Don't just take our word for it. Hear what Charlize, one of our NextWave 2026 teens, has to say!

From inspiring speakers to new friendships, leadership skills and unforgettable challenges, NextWave is about helping young people discover what they're truly capable of.

And your teen could be part of it next year!

📍 Christchurch, New Zealand
📅 19–23 April 2027
👥 Teens aged 14–17

Five days. Four nights. An experience that could make a real difference.

Give your teen the opportunity to experience it for themselves.

What if your teen's future best friend is someone they haven't even met yet? 💚

Some of the best friendships begin with two strangers taking a chance on something new.

That's what we love about NextWave. Teenagers arrive not knowing anyone, and five days later, they're leaving with new friendships, unforgettable memories, and a little more confidence in themselves.

And it's not just about making friends. It's about discovering what they're capable of.

📍 Christchurch, New Zealand
📅 19–23 April 2027
👥 Teens aged 14–17

One experience. New friendships. A whole lot of growing up.

Give your teen something to look forward to in 2027.

Ever walked into a room and wondered, “𝗔𝗺 𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?”

At NextWave, that’s not the goal.

You don’t need to act like everyone else, be the loudest in the room, or change who you are to belong. 💚

Come with your personality, your interests, your awkward moments, your big ideas — all of it.

Because the best connections happen when you get to be you.

For Abigail, NextWave wasn’t just about the activities. It was about seeing her team grow together — and finding the confidence to use her own voice too.

Sometimes leadership starts with something as simple as speaking up when you normally wouldn’t.

🌊 Ready to find your voice?

What if the thing holding you back isn’t that 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁… but that you haven’t given yourself the chance to find out? 👀

“I’m too shy.”
“I won’t know anyone.”
“What if I’m not good at it?”
“What if I don’t fit in?”

Those thoughts can feel huge — until you take the first step anyway. 💚

NextWave isn’t about arriving confident, fearless or knowing exactly who you want to be.

It’s about showing up as you are and discovering just how much more you’re capable of.

Sometimes, the breakthrough really does start with 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
