Explorer Day Camp- Tongariro
If you’re based near Tongariro, our Explorer Day Camp is the perfect way for local kids to experience all the adventure, fun, and connection of Hillary Outdoors without staying overnight.
Five action-packed days based at our Tongariro Centre, full of outdoor challenges, team-building, and personal growth. You’ll hike, rock climb, problem-solve, and explore the wild, while making new friends and building lasting confidence. Then head home each evening to rest for the next day’s adventure.
On arrival each morning, you’ll team up with your group and instructor to shape the day ahead. There’s no set schedule; activities are tailored to your group’s goals, interests, and the weather.
Come ready for a week of discovery, connection, and fun. You’ll head home each evening with great stories and finish the week with new skills, friendships, and the kind of confidence that sticks with you.
It’s the perfect way to experience the Hillary Holidays spirit while staying close to home.
Sign up solo (most do!) or get a friend to join you.
As part of our commitment to our local community, we’re delighted to offer a special community rate for our Explorer Day Camp.
