Let your tamariki go on a journey of discovery with our Senior Journey holiday programme, to explore the outdoors and discover their potential.
The Senior Journey adventure holiday programme allows tamariki to step up into an expedition format and build their resilience and teamwork skills while exploring spectacular local environments.
The outcome of completing a Journey is a great sense of achievement, increased confidence and a memorable experience that will be shared with new friends made along the way. Tamariki will not only discover the more remote places in Te Tau Ihu (the top of the South Island) but also their inner adventurer.
