We will put a 1-7 day programme together that is specific to your school’s needs. We cater for Year 5 through to Year 14. We do not run ‘set camp programmes’. Discussions with the Centre’s staff will ensure that your school is clear about their expected outcomes and requirements for their stay at Makahika, and we will then personalise the activities programme for your group. We can accommodate special needs children within the programmes. Flexibility is the aim to meeting the needs of a variety of age-groups.
Your experience can be made up of some of the following activities:
Orienteering
Tube raft building
Abseiling
Rock Climbing
