Programmes Designed for You
We are a diverse centre – although the river is close to our heart and rafting is often what we are known for, we offer a large range of activities. We specialise in custom designed programmes with activities and learning outcomes chosen to suit each individual or groups.
Every programme we do can be completely customisable based on your desired learning outcomes, timeframes, preferred activities and budget, so choose from one of our pre-designed courses below or request your own.
Let us help you create an epic adventure!
Outdoor Skills Courses
We offer high-quality courses in a number of disciplines. Check out our upcoming courses or request one!
Youth Programmes
Young people are at the heart of what we do. We offer a range of courses and programmes for all ages. From one day holiday programmes, to school camps and multi-day expeditions.
Hauroa & Team Development Programmes
We train groups wanting to develop their teamwork and leadership skills. Whether this is a sports team, corporate or community group, we can adapt the activities to suit your needs. We have previously hosted groups such as the Hawks AFL team on multi-day team bonding and leadership programmes, as well as other single-day corporate team-building and group adventure-based learning activities.
The high ropes course is a particularly popular facility for team and personal development as it lends itself to discussions around building trust, communication, and teamwork skills. However, there are many activities and outdoor pursuits that we can facilitate in a way to meet your team’s desired outcomes.
Get in touch with us to build a program designed specifically for your group.

Testimonials
Matt Simonsen, EOTC Coordinator – Waimate High School Camps
“All activities are well organised and staffed with friendly instructors that know how to interact with secondary school aged students. The Eco Lodge is a great facility, that the students enjoy staying there – especially making pizzas in the outside pizza oven.”
Sally from Recreate NZ – Custom Multi-Day Camp, 2023
“We are an organisation that works with young people with intellectual disabilities. We have been coming to PFOEC annually for many years. We have always been so impressed with how well the staff engage with our young people. The communication and planning is always very smooth and thorough. And the safety on the activities is always a number 1 priority. Overall, PFOEC is highlight of our year for us as staff and for our young people! Highly recommend!”
Anonymous – Custom Hauora and Team Development Programme, 2022
“We booked the ropes course as part of our company Christmas function. What a great idea! It was so much fun and really helped with team bonding. I would definitely recommend this! The booking process for a larger group also went smoothly.”

“If I am being honest this camp was run very well and everyone in the group seemed to enjoy it a lot.”

“I thought the group size we had made the trip more of an experience and learning opportunity because we all got to know each other quickly making us more comfortable around each other allowing us to take more risks and be more adventurous.”

“The group bonded well together as a whole. Encouragement came with every activity and really helped to complete tasks and activities. The range of activities made it really enjoyable and there was never a dull moment. On the tramp Kendall and Eliot made it more enjoyable by stepping back and letting us control the tempo and where we wanted to go.”
