Outdoor Activity Days<br />

Experience the exciting outdoors through a<br />

mountain or climbing day, caving and abseiling<br />

or perhaps a peaceful kayak or canoe ride on<br />

enchanting lakes. There are boundless activities<br />

to choose from, and these will be chosen<br />

dependent on the weather. Days will be filled<br />

with adventure, fun, courage, cultural<br />

experiences as well as environmental awareness.<br />

Activity Based Learning<br />

Students engage in ice-breaker and warm up exercises,<br />

Activity Based Learning (ABL) games which include<br />

trust, communication, initiative and problem solving,<br />

basic navigation training and practical bush tramping<br />

skills. Exciting experiences include high ropes and low<br />

ropes, a Flying Fox thrill ride, where they f ly in a<br />

harness which is attached to a fixed cable above the<br />

Mangatepopo River. Their trusty team mates will pull<br />

them back to the beginning for the next thrill seeker.<br />

Mountain Day<br />

The challenge awaits your young explorer. The<br />

theme of the day is to summit a peak within<br />

the <strong>Tongariro</strong> National Park or even a smaller<br />

peak in the local bush. This experience will<br />

teach them to work as a team, trust their<br />

instincts and grow physically and emotionally<br />

as they reach those dizzying heights.
