Logan Park is committed to providing a range of outdoor experience opportunities for international students, with two activities per term. A sample of possible activities is outlined below:
A weekend tramp in the Silverpeaks Join the Logan Park High School Tramping club for a weekend trip into the rugged Silver Peaks Range. We will carry all our gear and tents for a camp on Saturday night.
Otago Peninsula Day Trip A day spent exploring Otago Peninsula and the features it has to offer. Will include short walks, penguin spotting, albatross, seals etc.
Skiing and Snowboarding There are several ski fields within easy reach of Dunedin. Excellent facilities exist and there will be lessons provided for everyone. Accommodation will be in cabins in a holiday park where cooking skills will be developed in the evenings, while discussing the day’s highlights and enjoying the company of new friends.
Multi Day Tramp in November A 5 day tramp into the mountains in the headwaters of Lake Wakatipu. A round trip up the Caples River, a bit of a climb over McKellor Saddle, and then back down the Greenstone River.
Kayaking and Cycling at Mavora Lakes The Mavora Lakes, near Te Anau, are surrounded by spectacular mountains. We will camp next to the northern lake, then explore both lakes in double sea-kayaks (training is provided). Short tramps and cycling are included in this adventure.
Bush and beach adventures in the Catlins From our base at a lodge near Tautuku Beach we enjoy bush walks, games, an overnight camp at the beach, a rather ‘muddy’ time and trips further afield to see waterfalls and other natural wonders.
