Poll: Do your kids play Fortnite? Do you have any concerns about it?

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hi neighbours,
The latest online craze, Fortnite, has a hold on young Kiwis and concerns are mounting about school children staying up too late to play the game. More than 125 million players worldwide play the game and the multi-player Battle Royale, where 100 people battle it out in a third-person shoot 'em up until the last person standing wins, is hugely popular. More details here: www.stuff.co.nz....
Tell us how you're coping with the new online craze in the comments section - are you having problems? Have you noticed a change in your child's behaviour? Are they losing sleep? How are you managing it?

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
