About Hillary Outdoors <strong>Tongariro</strong> Program<br />

Established in 1887, <strong>Tongariro</strong> was the first National Park in<br />

New Zealand. It is also a dual World Heritage area recognizing<br />

the Park’s important Maori cultural and spiritual associations,<br />

as well as its outstanding volcanic features in an area surrounded<br />

by lakes, rivers, mountains and native bush.<br />

This is an inspirational adventure, which has its roots firmly<br />

planted in the determination and strength that pushed Sir<br />

Edmund Hillary to conquer the summit of Mount Everest.<br />

The Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre was created over 40 years<br />

ago, through the collaboration of New Zealand’s most famous<br />

mountaineers and adventurers, Sir Edmund Hillary and<br />

Graeme Dingle.<br />

This epic adventure will see your teenager’s abseiling, rock climbing, caving,<br />

kayaking, mastering high ropes, learning bush skills, camping and hiking<br />

some of the world’s most stunning mountains. Astounding beauty like this<br />

will be hard to find, with the Hillary Outdoors <strong>Tongariro</strong> Program located<br />

in a beautiful wilderness area of the Central North Island.<br />

Students work in teams, learn to trust fellow adventurers, solve<br />

problems, and challenge themselves physically, reaching<br />

beyond their comfort zone. This is a once-in-a-lifetime<br />

opportunity for students to reach above their expectations<br />

and learn that they can leverage themselves to new heights,<br />

and experience the unbelievable benefits that will become a<br />

part of them for life.<br />
