After last week's Luge Camp, this week's event will offer further wintry school holiday fun for more than 50 pupils aged between 7 and 15 as the event, which runs between 10am and 3pm each day, serves both as an "introductory to ice sports" and a talent-identification event.
The camp will culminate in an "exhibition day" on Friday which will include a luge race, a hockey game and figure skating exhibition.
New Zealand Luge president Geoff Balme said: "It was neat to see some kids who had never skated or luged before" build confidence across the day.By the end of the day they're skating around the ice unsupported."
