Trailblazer Leadership – Tongariro

This leadership-focused, multi-pursuit programme for youth aged 16-19 is about building confidence, realising your potential, and getting out of your comfort zone in a fun, safe, and supportive environment with like-minded peers. Sign up solo (most do!) or get a friend to join you. 

Using the outdoors as a dynamic learning environment, this programme blends practical experience with leadership theory and skill development.  

Participants will work collaboratively with each other and their instructor to achieve personal and group goals, co-design what their week looks like. It’s about taking ownership, learning to lead, and supporting others to do the same. 

The journey begins with day trips into the outdoors to build core skills and team cohesion. You’ll then take on the ultimate challenge: a three-day, two-night expedition in Tongariro National Park, where you’ll put your leadership and teamwork into practice in real conditions. 

Ideal for participants with leadership potential, student prefects, sports captains, school council members and students entering the workforce.
