FAQs

This depends on which programme you are on. On approval of your application you willl be sent a gear list, if you want to know in advance you can refer to the gear lists on our Downloads Page. In most cases, we will provide all the specialist outdoor gear, transport and food. You only need to bring your personal gear like clothes and a sleeping bag.  We can provide certain items if you don't have them, these are the ones underlined on each gear list.

This can vary depending on the programme, time of year and activities.  You will most likely be camping or sleeping in huts. We will provide this information at the time of your enrolment.

This depends on the type of programme. If you are based on-site then yes, we have showers, toilets and kitchen facilities.  If you are going off-site then probably not, but you may have access to rivers or the sea. Ask your tutors on day one and they can let you know. 

More often than not programmes, including camps, will proceed despite the rain.  The order or type of activities could change to accommodate weather conditions.  Camps can be cancelled due to extreme weather or for any other safety related reasons.  The Whenua Iti safety manager will make the decision if a programme will proceed or not.
