Two men once thought a South Island con would be a great idea. A couple of years later, multiple site visits, and strenuous planning has lead to this; Southern Paws Con. A collective of anthropomorphic enthusiasts, more commonly known as furries, will come together for the weekend of a lifetime! With activities galore on offer, a great location close to Christchurch, friends and fursuits. What else could you ask for?
About the Event
The Site
Hosted camp-style at a former Boys Brigade camp, now the Waipara Adventure Centre - in the middle of the scenic Waipara Valley.
The Location
Within an hours drive from Christchurch just north of the small town of Waipara. About a 45 minute drive from Christchurch Airport.
Our Team
We have an awesome team of volunteer staff and helpers making the event happen. To see who's involved, check out our staff list.
Accommodation
Make your choice between (cheaper!) shared bunkrooms or cabins - Sleeping three or six to a room in private bedrooms.
The Theme
The theme for this year is medieval. So dress up, grab your gear and get ready for the furry middle ages!
