Ending the day with marshmallows and hot chocolate around the campfire makes this the perfect for kids who love the outdoors. The children sleep in tents or shelters they build (weather permitting), where sleeping under the stars and roaring fires set the scene for a real taste of living in the wild. During this fully residential 3-day camp, we provide all meals, snacks and drinks. Health and safety is extremely important to us, as a long running and recognized outdoor education provider as well as an established tour operator for wilderness walks and expeditions, we are adequately insured and regulated to NZ standards.
