Primary School Adventure Camp

We have designed a 4 day adventure-based camp package to minimise the organisation load and maximise the fun learning opportunities for your tamariki.

Outline of Activities

Set up camp & tackle a series of exciting WIO challenges on site such as abseiling or high ropes, take part in our fun ABL games to test your teamwork, be transported to Kaiteretere for a day developing beach skills such as raft building & kayaking, explore the fascinating world underground on a caving adventure and, best of all, have all activities facilitated by our experienced team of educators. View Programme Outline.

Adventurous, Organised & Safe

The learning that is possible on a Whenua Iti Outdoors camp sets us apart, we offer access to a range of activities and all of our programmes have an education focus. Find out more on our Outcomes & Activities page. We ensure that your students have equal access to all activities by providing all specialist outdoor equipment. If needed we can also offer personal gear to participants such as boots or sleeping equipment.

We are a registered and approved Adventure Activities provider. Find out more on our Safety First page.

“Instructors are supportive, enthusiastic and motivating. I love that one instructor stayed on site each night. The grounds are beautiful, gear is great and activities are fantastic! The food was brilliant also.” – Year 8 Teacher

“Our students loved their their three-day camp at the end of last year. You have great facilities and staff and these together make it a great, safe but challenging place to take students into the outdoors.”
