Over the weekend of 4-6 September, 30 cadets from all three corps (5 units) and 16 staff went to Coopers Beach Christian camp for an action packed weekend. They learnt base etiquette, had 6am PT, rotations between Kayaking, obstacle course, slippy hockey and the waterslide.

Later in the day we went for walk up the hill, had a sandcastle competition and had a talent show. A special thank you to all the staff that helped out and the cadets for showing up.

Thank you to 64 SQN who organized and hosted camp.

One of our officers was privileged enough to be invited on this course and we are looking forward to taking the cadets so they can pass their drone operators course.

17 & 24 May 2026 Kerikeri Cadet Unit and 25 Sqn had a combined total of 19 cadets on shoots with some of them working towards their marksman badges with a score of 60 on two separate shoots required.

Others worked on their confidence with firing the fi****ms in a controlled setting after passing their dftts. It was amazing to see the courage the cadets displayed with shooting, the comradeship of the cadets when they did well and assisting them with things to try when they didn't and the commitment made by all of the cadets.

Thanks to our RCOs for the weekend, MAJ Wakeford and FLTLT Joyce . Also to the additional staff.

Kerikeri cadet unit attended the dawn service at Kerikeri Domain, breakfast with the RSA at the Homestead then visited the Kerikeri Retirement Village, all before heading back to the Kerikeri Domain for the civic service.

Visiting the residents at the Kerikeri Retirement Village is something dear to our hearts. Many of the cadets ask when we can do this as they enjoy hearing the story’s and spending time there.
