One of the local summer events re-emerging after a two-year hiatus is Wave — a week-long summer school holiday program for the kids and youth of Newcastle and Lake Mac, put on by Hunter Bible Church at Lambton High School.
Wave has grown each year over the past two decades and now regularly sees more than 500 kids each summer.
Pastor Dave Robertson, who oversees the event, says local parents have been contacting the church in the past few months asking if it will be back on, because their kids loved attending. “We’re thrilled to be able to run Wave again in 2023.
“We were so disappointed that we had to cancel Wave the past two years due to COVID. We missed the opportunity to serve the families of our community so we’re pumped to be back again, and the team is looking forward to helping loads of kids and teens have an awesome time!”
Wave Kids and Youth (ages Creche–Year 8) runs each morning 9am–12pm from Monday 16th through to Friday 20th January 2023. The cost is only $5 a day or $20 for the week per child.
Parents are invited to enjoy free coffee, morning tea, live music and short relevant talks at the WAVE Cafe.
The Senior Youth (Year 9–12) also have events in the evenings. For more details or to register go to www.wavekids.com.au
