​ OUTDOOR RECREATION TERTIARY TASTER COURSE LEVEL 3​

This course is designed to give students a taste of three different outdoor recreation activities. The activities could include mountain biking, sea kayaking, tramping and camping, or high ropes course. The activities chosen will depend on the time of the year, the type of group and the weather. We will get out of Auckland and enjoy some of the best recreation areas that are easily accessible from Auckland.

This also serves as a very good taster for our Diploma in Outdoor and Adventure Education.
