:: ADULT ADVENTURE PROGRAMMES - INTRODUCTION
OPC runs a range of adult adventure programmes for people of all ages, right through to 50+ years!
The Adult Adventure Challenge is suitable for people 18 years and upwards who fancy a bit of a challenge, and are keen to push their personal boundaries and have a go at something new. OPC also runs specialty Adventure Weekends on demand for ladies groups and over 50's groups which involves a fantastic weekend of fun outdoor activities, fresh air and a bit of R&R time with some good company.
During these programmes you will visit special and scenic places in the Tongariro National Park (World Heritage Site) or Great Barrier Island, in the Hauraki Gulf.
Our instructors are experienced, skilled, enthusiastic and compassionate. They aim to provide safe experiences in exciting environments that makes learning challenging and enjoyable. The course will leave you revitalised, challenged, motivated from experiential self-belief and confident.
Who is the Adult Adventure Programme For?
Adult Adventure courses are for anyone who is ready for a challenge and an adrenalin rush. You don’t need to be into sport or the outdoors and you don’t need to be super fit. The main thing you need is a positive attitude and a willingness to ‘have a go’. However, you will be involved in physical activities each day so a moderate fitness level will help you make the most of the programme.
What will I do on the programme?
Your course will introduce you to a variety of the following outdoor pursuits and outdoor adventure activities: kayaking, tramping, snow-craft skills, caving, white water tube rafting, rock climbing, abseiling, ropes courses, orienteering, canoeing, sea-kayaking, sailing, coasteering, snorkeling, and many more!
There are too many options to fit into one programme! The actual activities included depend on the type of course, the group and the conditions.
What are the benefits?
During the programme an OPC instructor and fellow participants will provide support for individuals to face fears and give new activities a go. Through this positive team environment, participants develop confidence in their own abilities and team building skills that are often taken away at the end of the programme to be transferred to a home or work situation.
Which course is right for me?
We don't believe in putting people in 'boxes' here at OPC, so there are no limits to which course individuals can or can't do - the only exception being Women's Weekends (sorry guys!). Nonetheless, some courses are suited better for certain individuals than others so we hope the course descriptions and age recomendations give you an idea of where you will feel most comfortable, and more importantly have the most fun!
