This programme is a good way to introduce a class to the great outdoors, Kiwi-style.
Students learn about keeping safe and having fun through practical hands-on activities. They have a go at pitching tents and cooking sausages, get the low-down on tramping, orienteering, and what to do if things go wrong. There are also team building opportunities.
A pre-visit is recommended for this programme.
