TRAIN YOUR TEAM
Over our 30 years of operation, we have learnt a trick or two about what it takes to run fun, safe and adventurous programmes.
Our training programmes offer teachers, scouts/guides leaders and youth/community workers the opportunity to gain professional development that will maximise the outdoor adventure and education you offer in our communities.
We provide both scheduled training opportunities for individuals to sign up to, as well as group bookings where we can tailor the training to maximise learning outcomes to meet your specific group’s needs.
We have senior staff who are qualified to train and assess people for their NZOIA and Skills Active Outdoor Recreation leader level qualifications in Bush, Kayak, Sea Kayak, Rock and Abseil. In addition we can offer technical or theoretical training in risk management, river crossings and swift water awareness, bush and alpine environments.
We have worked with:
- Police: Search and rescue
- Civil Aviation Authority: Accident Investigators
- Secondary School teachers: Outdoor Education
- Duke of Edinburgh: Award Leaders
- Girl Guides: Leaders
- Waiperira Trust: Youth workers
- Residential camps: Activity Leaders
- Clubs: Leaders and volunteers

![Isn't this an incredible video?!? It really puts into perspective the massive amount of plastic waste that is being created (not just in the UK but on a global scale).⠀
⠀
The video was created by #Greenpeace UK and this is their description:⠀
"Wasteminster is a uniquely original depiction of what would happen if the plastic waste the UK exports each day was instead dumped on Downing Street [...] All statements in this film are direct quotes from Boris Johnson and his government."⠀
⠀
Wondering if New Zealand is any better? According to Recycle .co.nz, "In New Zealand we discard 15.5 million tonnes of waste each year. That is 3,200kg for every kiwi! Right now we only recycle 28% of this waste."⠀
⠀
What can we do about it?⠀
As well as recycling more, we can also consume less. If we buy less single-use, disposable or plastic-packaged products, then there is less waste going into a landfill (or being sent overseas to fill other countries' landfills). ⠀
