The first Waipā rugby camp for children has already attracted 70 registrations with the promise of more if the smiles on players’ faces on Saturday are anything to go by.

Director of junior rugby Stacey Kobus told The News on Saturday during junior rugby matches at Memorial Park that she and the club were excited about the opportunity.
“This will be an awesome two days for our juniors but also the club and our community.”
Local businesses have come on board with sponsorship to bring the event to life.
“Having an event like this in Cambridge gives our young community an opportunity to engage in an active programme which enhances the love for sport and develops our community.”
The club is still taking registrations for the event which starts on July 18.
