Bronze Adventure ​(Practice or Qualifying Journey)


An overnight Bronze Adventure trip is suitable as a Bronze Practice or Bronze Qualifying Journey.


Students must have completed their Bronze Training before undertaking their Bronze Practice Journey, and must have completed their Bronze Training and Bronze Practice Journey before undertaking their Bronze Qualifying Journey.


This Bronze Adventure can be either your Bronze Practice or Bronze Qualifying Journey. We will ensure that you have an appropriate experience for the level that you are doing.


The purpose of the Practice Journey is to introduce you to the experience of packing a pack, carrying it to the campsite, preparing the campsite, preparing a meal, sleeping in a tent and tramping back. For many this may be the first experience of this sort. There will be a lot of learning that occurs on the practice tramp!


The Qualifying Journey is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills in tramping, camping, navigation and group management. You will be expected to use all the skills you learned from your Training Day and Practice Journey, and you will have the opportunity to lead the group, make decisions and teach others!


Free transport is provided from our base in Avondale (or from CBD ferry terminal for Rangitoto trips).
