Pakuranga Howick Tramping Club Nights

Your Guide to Club Night

Members of the Howick Tramping Club often share how their monthly club nights bring a sense of camaraderie and shared passion for outdoor pursuits. These gatherings provide a relaxed space to connect with fellow enthusiasts, swap stories from recent tramps, and plan upcoming adventures in New Zealand's stunning landscapes. Whether you're a seasoned tramper or simply curious about exploring nature, these evenings are designed to foster community ties and encourage participation in outdoor activities.

The club night involves informal discussions, guest speakers on tramping topics, and opportunities to learn about safe hiking practices. It's open to all ages and welcoming to newcomers, making it suitable for everyone interested in the outdoors. Held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (excluding December and January), each session lasts 90 minutes and carries a small entry fee of $2 to cover basic costs. No prior experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm for tramping and the environment. The focus is on building connections within the Auckland community, where members support each other in enjoying New Zealand's natural beauty responsibly.

Participating offers benefits like gaining practical tips for local tramps, meeting like-minded people, and strengthening community bonds through shared interests. It's a low-key way to get involved in environmental and outdoor activities without the commitment of a full hike. Everyone is welcome, so these nights serve as an entry point to the club's tramping ethos.
