Environmental & Outdoor Education for Schools

Peel Forest Outdoor Pursuits Centre specialises in providing outdoor and environmental education to schools and educational organisations. We cater for groups including pre-schools, primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutes and universities.

Our programmes meet the key competencies and values of the New Zealand Curriculum and, in partnership with Aoraki Polytechnic, we can offer you unit standards in a wide range of outdoor fields.

We can help you put a course together. We have arranged some samples of programmes that illustrate options for various length of courses and types of activity. These can be changed to suit your individual needs, syllabus and timetable. Please contact us if you would like further information or assistance in designing a programme to meet your needs. A variety of sample programmes are listed here...

“I was blown away by the level of support from parents, teachers and OPC staff, and the facilities, resources and environment available. This is a fantastic experience for kids of this age group to learn new skills and appreciate the natural beauty of our local environment.”
