Unit Standards
We are fortunate to not only be able to offer life-changing experiences, but also tick some boxes along the way! If your organisation is accredited to offer unit standards, we can provide the practical training, instructional expertise, and safety system for you by helping to build a programme that meets requirements and assesses students to the level required. It is your organisation’s responsibility to do the administrative reporting and workbooks with the students to ensure they meet the unit. These units could be based during just one day or over multiple sessions. Common units we currently offer are rafting, kayaking, low/high ropes, rock climbing/abseiling, safety management and teamwork units.
Build Your Programme
You’ve got lots of choices when it comes to booking! We know it can be a bit overwhelming trying to come up with a plan from scratch, especially for multi-day camps, so check out a few templates for programmes that have run well in the past, and make sure to read all about our activities for a more in-depth description of each.
1/2-Day Activity
We understand time and budget constraints mean that sometimes all the fun has to be jam-packed. Our most bite-sized option is a great introduction to a new world of adventure with activities such as high ropes, bush survival, tramping, activity-based learning and orienteering available for half-day booking!
1-Day Activity
Get straight into the action by choosing from any of the activities we offer for a whole day of adventure. Choose from activities such as rafting, kayaking, high and low-ropes, raft building, rock climbing and abseiling or tramping to get the group fully immersed in one activity or ask about combining two half-day activities instead for a bit of variety!
Peel Forest-based 3-Day Camp
This style camp is great for medium-sized groups (20-40 students) where time is a constraint. We have several different basic accommodation options available that can sleep 37 students and 4 adults. For larger groups, we can split two 3-day camps over 1 week.
These camps get kids out of their comfort zone and straight into a whole new environment, allowing for team building and skill development along the way. Plus- it’s enough time to tick off a few of our most popular activities like rafting, high ropes and abseiling!
Raincliff-based 3-Day Camp
These camps are great for very large groups (50+) where inside accommodation is preferred, and teachers/staff are cooking for the whole group. Activities are appropriate for Year 7 students and older. This is a good choice for intermediate school camps or groups with a lot of students. We have lots of activities close to Raincliff to choose from such as our very popular river safety sessions, abseiling, bush survival, tramping and many more further afield!
Please note: We don’t run the accommodation at Rancliff Youth Camp. We recommend you refrain from booking accommodation until you confirm the dates and your desired activities with us.
Peel Forest-based 5-Day Camp
This style camp is great for smaller groups (10-35 students) or larger groups where students cook for themselves and don’t mind staying in tents (up to ~60). These extra days allow for us to really develop student’s individual skills and group dynamics throughout the week. The goal is to have developed a high-performing team by the end of the week.
We have several different basic accommodation options to choose from located amongst regenerating native Peel Forest bush to suit the needs of the group, as well as lots of local activities to choose from such as high ropes, rafting, bush walks, abseiling and more!
Journey-based 5 to 8-day Camp
These camps are great for a small group (10-12) of older participants (Year 10+) who are after an experience that will change the way they think about their connection to the natural world and their place in it.
These full-immersion camps give students time to build lasting connections and trust within their group as well as the opportunity to meet each new challenge with some prior skills learned over the course of the week. We usually start these journeys with a few days based out of our Eco Lodge running local activities and then head out on an overnight tramping, climbing or rafting expedition in locations such as Mt Somers or Arthur’s Pass.
