Stump Club Camp, Amputee Society Top of the South, Dec 2024

Late last year, Whenua Iti hosted an extraordinary programme that brought together 14 young amputees from across New Zealand for a weekend of adventure, connection, and empowerment. The Stump Club camp, a bespoke active recreation programme, was the result of over a year of planning and tireless fundraising by the Amputee Society of Top of the South. Whenua Iti Outdoors CEO Mark Bruce-Miller expressed his pride in hosting the camp. “We’re lucky to have such supportive partnerships in place that help to fund and prioritise these immensely important experiences for the students. It’s a privilege to be able to offer programmes like this,” he said. “We’re happy to hear that the participants returned home with greater confidence, self-belief, and resilience.” “The community support we’ve had in the last year has been outstanding,” said Shane Torrance, President of the Amputee Society of Top of the South. “These young amputees deserve active recreation opportunities just as much as able-bodied kids, but it does take a little bit more effort and planning to make it happen.” The camp’s diverse programme included adventure-based games, high ropes activities, and kayaking, offering participants the chance to push their boundaries and discover new strengths. Special guest speakers, Paralympians Holly Robinson and Liam Malone, shared their inspiring journeys, encouraging the young attendees to dream big and pursue their passions.
