This Dirt, Soul and LOLs camp is in collaboration with Sport Canterbury and supported by the Active Aotearoa Tū Manawa fund.

We are passionate about providing quailty opportunities for girls and young women to try mountain biking (and other activities) in a safe space, where girls can be themselves and be active in a fun way.

The main focus of these camps is to CONNECT and have FUN! We’ll learn a few new skills, play lots of fun games and try a new challenge. There will also be plenty of time for snacks!

The Indy Project encourage and inspire New Zealand women and non-binary people to embrace nature's offerings through providing opportunity to learn and grow through board-sports. Building inclusive communities, events & workshops that support and improve women's resilience and mind-body health.
