Frequently Asked Questions

Do your prices include GST?

Yes, all prices include GST.

What are your adventure-based learning theories?

Adventure Experience Paradigm

Challenge by Choice

We create environments where students feel safe and encouraged to take risks and step out of their comfort zones. Uncomfortable isn’t unsafe. Learning to take risks in a safe environment is essential to human growth and flourishing.

Students get to choose their level of challenge.
Students get to choose their level of support.
Students get to choose how deeply they participate.

First Degree Fun

1st Degree Fun is enjoyable while it is happening – and we do plenty of it!

Second Degree Fun

2nd Degree Fun is still fun. It can be difficult and uncomfortable when it’s happening but is awesome when you look back on it! As a teacher, you know your students and what is ‘fun’ for them. We believe the difference between First and Second Degree Fun is time, encouragement and support.

What equipment do you provide for expeditions?

We supply all outdoor equipment required for the expedition including tents, rucksacks, trangias, first aid, emergency shelter, roll mats and base camp gear (marquees, tables and water).

What do students need to provide for expeditions?

Weather is closely and continually monitored prior to and during the expedition, and information is relayed to our staff in the field.
