The Sunsational Challenge is back again!

We're really excited to once again be part of this fun, family activity which challenges you to explore our district over January. The challenge starts on 3 January and runs until 31 January, 2024.

The challenge card has a variety of activities for participants under the age of 18 to complete.

Participants collect stamps on their challenge card from community facilities by completing the free activity. Outdoor activities can also be stamped off at the same time.

Once participants have collected the required number of stamps they can present their card at the appropriate venue to earn rewards and go in the draw for prizes:

• 3 stamps earns a free badge - collected from South Canterbury Museum, Timaru District Libraries and Aigantighe Art Gallery
• 6 stamps earns a free swim - redeemable at CBay, Temuka, Pleasant Point, and Geraldine Outdoor Pools by presenting the Challenge card
• 9 stamps earns an entry in the draw to win some amazing prizes.

Activities will be hosted all over the district including Geraldine, Temuka, Pleasant Point, and Timaru.

There will also be the Sunsational social media photo competition which families can participate in. This competition is open to all ages. To enter, take a photo of you or your family completing an activity on the Sunsational Challenge activities trail, and post the photo to either Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #Sunsational2024

All prize winners will be drawn on 8 February 2024.
