The camp plays a key part in the Chiefs Pathways Programme which identifies exciting players within the clubs’ region who show the potential to become future Gallagher Chiefs with previous attendees including current All Black and alumni Tupou Vaa’i. The camp also acts as a trial for players to earn selection for the New Zealand Schools team and the University of Waikato Chiefs U18 team who will face Samoa later this year.
