Truth or dare Waimakariri
We’ve all played this game at some point, as and when the thrill of the unknown speaks to the adventurer in each of us.
Players either share a secret or are challenged to an inventive dare. Notwithstanding its mischievous overtones, Truth or Dare is a playful call to action, that many of the thriving towns in the Waimakariri evoke.
Enjoy a multitude of biking and tramping trails with varying levels of difficulty, and make wonderful memories in any of the many campsites throughout the Waimakariri District Council’s reserves, and beyond.
The main towns of Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Oxford, and Woodend, are each bursting with opportunities for family holiday exploits, romantic getaways, and active fun. October is a busy month, with many special events scheduled also. Check these out:
