This programme was devised to provide participants with a once in a lifetime opportunity to engage with the wilderness and also developing themselves and their ability to relate to, and work with others. The program will push participants beyond their comfort zones and provide strong shared experiences to last a lifetime, all while enjoying themselves.                  

Ultimately, it is hoped to show participants that they can achieve more than they perceived and believed, inspire them to push harder, lean on the team, hold each other up and value the wilderness. All while eating good food and enjoying good company with new friends.

The course name ‘Eddy Out’ refers to paddling a river. We often pull into the calm water on the side for a breather. Once there the idea of eddying out back into the flow can be very daunting. This analogy very easily relates to life. ‘Eddy Out’; take on a new challenge, lead a team, be part of a team, complete a journey you may not think possible. The program will provide many opportunities to step out within a supportive environment, learning skills that can last a lifetime.    And visit incredible wild places on that journey.

The course includes;

Those on the course help plan the activities with the course Instructors

Personal and Team Challenges;   Abseiling; a Multiday Tramp; Rock Climbing.

Rafting and Kayaking on the Rangitata River; have fun and adventure.

The course is open to Year 12 and Year 13 Students from across Otago high schools.

Cost is only $100 each participant.

The balance of the cost of the program will be met by the Trust.
