Whānau Camp – Coromandel
*** FULL – Waitlist Available ***
This Whānau Camp is a residential outdoor family camp in the Northern Coromandel for teens (11–18) and the important adults in their lives. It’s designed to help you reconnect through shared challenge, adventure, and time away from everyday life.
This family camp gives you the chance to step off the grid and into nature — exploring coastlines, native bush, and new experiences together, then slowing down in the evenings to talk, laugh, and simply be together.
Why choose this family adventure camp?
- Strengthen connection through shared challenges
- Build confidence and communication
- Spend uninterrupted time away from screens
- Create lasting family memories
What your days might look like
No two camps are the same! Your experience is shaped by your group, your goals, and the conditions. You can expect a mix of guided outdoor adventures and relaxed time together, including:
- Sea kayaking and surf sports
- Snorkelling and coasteering
- Abseiling and rock climbing
- Tramping and bush exploration
- Evening games and stargazing
Who it’s for
Whānau can look however you like. Parents, stepparents, caregivers, aunties, uncles, older siblings, and other important people are all welcome.
Camp registration covers one adult and one teen. If you’d like to bring additional whānau members, please contact our Programme Coordinators at bookings@hillaryoutdoors.co.nz or (07) 386 5511, and we’ll help arrange this for you.
