Adventurous Journeys: June and July

Are you ready for an exciting journey that combines adventure, personal growth, and making a positive impact on the environment? Join Auckland Challenge for our upcoming explorations in June and July, set amidst the stunning Auckland Regional Parks! 

 

What is an exploration? It's more than just a trip; it's a purposeful journey where participants work together towards a common goal. In our explorations, groups choose a project-based goal and work collaboratively to achieve it. The focus in the regional parks is typically on service-based goals centred around conservation efforts.

A reminder that you must have completed the training for your level before going on your practice journey.

 

  • You need to do a practice journey before you do your qualifying journey.
  • The assessor on the journey assessors your skills.  If they feel that you need more practice you may be asked to undertake a further practice journey before your qualifying.
  • The aim of the practice journey is to make sure you have all of the skills needed to keep you safe in the outdoors.
