OTNZ run specific courses to meet the requirements of the following sections of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award:

• Bronze Adventurous Journey
• Silver Adventurous Journey
• Gold Adventurous Journey

OTNZ has a list of their upcoming Award programmes advertised on their website here. It’s as simple as finding the right programme for you and signing up.

It is our philosophy that although you can learn facts from books, videos, and the internet about how to have a safe and enjoyable time in the New Zealand outdoors, that there is no substitute for developing personal skills by practical experience under the guidance of highly experienced outdoors people.

Our experience shows that every person who goes through one of our quality courses will have a multiplying effect on the community we serve; this is due in part to the effect we can and will have on leaders in schools, tramping clubs, youth groups, and many other outdoor organisations.
