Somewhere between the endless group chats and calendar clashes, adult social life got complicated. What used to be as simple as turning up at a flat with a bottle now requires spreadsheets, childcare negotiations, and the diplomacy skills of a UN envoy. For many of us, the group chat has become less about making plans and more about or lamenting how hard it is to execute them.
Enter Field Trip, the brainchild of Sheree Moanaroa, who decided it was time to take the labour out of leisure. A veteran of hospitality and international strategy, she knows the alchemy of detail and timing — and has channelled that expertise into a new kind of social club for adults. The result is experiences that feel considered yet carefree, with just the right balance of nostalgia and polish.
Her flagship experience, Summer Camp, takes over Hunua Falls this January for a three-day immersive adventure. Reimagined through an adult lens, it delivers chef-prepared dining, custom cocktails, styled bunkrooms, and a coffee cart to revive you in the morning. Days drift between games, workouts, and chill zones; nights move from campfire hangs to DJ-led dance floors. It’s playful without being chaotic, premium without being precious — and crucially, you don’t have to organise a thing.
Beyond Summer Camp, Moanaroa’s Field Trip Presents delivers a line-up of roaming city events — bowls club takeovers, giant picnics, and quiz brunches, each fuelled by DJs, design, and a social vibe that makes it easy to drop in. Field Trip is answering a very modern tension: we still want connection, but we don’t want the admin. These are events designed for those of us who love the energy of a party, but have outgrown sticky floors.
Whether you’re looking to expand your social network, rally your crew for a weekend away, or simply throw yourself into three days of music, games, and good vibes, Field Trip’s Summer Camp is a must.
Field Trip’s Summer Camp runs from 23rd — 25th January 2026 at Hunua Falls, Auckland. Tickets are limited, secure yours now, here, or enter to win a double pass below.
