“I thoroughly enjoyed the Duke Of Edinburgh Tramp and I think I have learnt a humongous amount of skills such as mapping, teamwork, first aid and no doubt a lot more. I’m keen to get on to my silver and keep learning throughout the years.” Ash Kelliher, Rangi Ruru Girls
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award has seen a resurgence of interest in the past few years. We are proud to be an approved provider for the Adventurous journey component of the Award. The Adventurous Journey section consists of 3 components:
- Expedition Training
- Practice Expedition
- Qualifier Expedition
We can offer journeys in either tramping or rafting. We pride ourselves in offering quality, safe and inspiring expeditions with students working alongside an instructor in groups of 4-7 to be involved in planning and choosing an expedition.
For the tramping we are fortunate to have Peel Forest, Mt Somers, Hakatere, and Te Kahui Kaupeka Conservation parks at our doorstep. Rafting journeys range from the Rangitata, Waimakariri, Grey or Clarence rivers.
