REAL LIFE ADVENTURE
Safe, quality programmes.
Adventure, learning (about self and others) and lots of fun! Bushcraft / shelter building / fire lighting / camp cooking. Learn to carve your own wooden spoon.
The experience is challenging yet designed for success. Emphasis is upon learning from one another and nature in a spirit that honours balance and respect. Director James Alker has a specific interest in fostering youth development in the outdoors. Building on 20 years of outdoor education, mentoring and his own passion for outdoor adventure, the concept of Wilderness Canoe Journeys was born.
Strong emphasis is placed on a true wilderness experience. Exploring open lakes, streams, salt water creeks and the majestic open expanses of the Whanganui inlet on the West Coast of Golden Bay. Group sizes are small with highly qualified and experience male and female staff, 1 staff member to 6 children. Safety is our first priority, we use detailed safety management plans, conduct regular and on-going evaluation of our programmes and undertake external audits.
