Our extensive range of activities provide great team building opportunities for kids and adults alike – just north of Wellington.

 
We have a professional team of instructors whose primary goal is to provide a fun interactive learning experience, with safety as their top priority.

Our camp activities are all Outdoors Mark certified which means they have been audited and meet the highest safety standards set by Work Safe NZ.

We are certified to a Premium level, which goes over and above what is required for the activities we offer.  Click here for a closer look at our certification.
