In February 2010, school aged students, who use high technology communication devices as their main method of communication, will be invited to attend KiwiChat camp. The camp will have places for up to 12 children and their families.The primary aim of the Matamata camp, hosted by TalkLink Trust, is for the children using the devices to improve their device use and become more competent communicators, in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Parents, carers, and siblings are also invited to attend the camp. Similar camps have been a great success in Australia resulting in many positive outcomes for students and families across the Tasman.

Intensive communication therapy will be provided each morning at the camp, and the afternoons will involve activities and opportunities for everyone to practice the skills they have learnt in the morning.

The morning sessions will concentrate on language activities. For example the children will be given open ended questions which will help initiate two way conversation. In the afternoons, activities which encourage communication will take place, such as treasure hunts and arts/crafts activities.
