SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS
Rafting the Kaituna River is the perfect school trip activity; we can tailor our trips to fit your requirements in school assessments.
We can provide half-day and full-day options that capture nature in one of its purest forms, enabling us to grow students whether it be through trust, teamwork, or just the happiness that is created in the outdoors.
We have Achievement standard resources all ready to go, at Level 1, 2 and 3 – We will provide all resources, transport, and safety gear, so all students need, is a swimsuit and towel.
A typical day would be meeting in the morning, where we will concentrate on river skills and assessments, then after breaking for lunch, we jump on the Kaituna River (Ōkere awa) and put those skills to the test.
Right next door, we have the award-winning Okere Falls Store, or we have BBQ facilities onsite.
For more information on our Achievement standards please contact us.
Experience nature, culture and adrenaline all in one spot!
