2023 Junior Tramping Camp

CAMP FULL: Enrol to be put on the waiting list

Our junior tramping camp is heading into  the stunning Caples River Valley near Queenstown. It’s for anyone that  is keen on giving real tramping a try in the New Zealand backcountry.

As beginner tramping you will need to have reasonable level of fitness (so start training now) and will need to carry all your own food and gear with you as you tramp.

Location

We are tramping up the Caples River Valley in Mt Aspiring National Park.

We will be tramping 16km on the first and last day with day walks each day in between. We are staying in a private Deerstalkers Hut. The track is a reasonably good condition track with incredible views of the nearby mountains.

 

Our Tramping Camps Feature...

Backcountry Huts and Tents

We will be staying in a private back-country huts in the remote wilderness - these huts give us some shelter but are often cold meaning warm clothing is a must. But the scenery is oh....so amazing!

Fun and Games

With no power or cellphone coverage*, we have plenty of time to play cool games like "The Most Awesome Game in the World" and make our own fun in the wilderness.


* we have a satellite communicator for emergencies

Good Food

Tramping is all about walking, good company and eating food. Lots of snacks to build up your energy for tramping

Testimonials from previous tramping camps...

The tramping camp down the Hollyford [in 2019] was one of the best CYC camps I've ever been on.

2019 Junior Tramping Camp Camper
It was my first tramp and I had no idea what I was doing but that tramping trip down the South Coast was one of my best memories as a teenager. Now I'm in my twenties I'm still doing lots of tramping

I just wanted to thank you very much for the tramp in the Hollyford. [My daughter] loved it and she has been talking about it a lot since ... [she] came back further encouraged spiritually
