AJ's at a glance

For the Adventurous Journey section you'll need a sense of adventure and discovery as you go on a team journey, expedition or exploration in our big Kiwi backyard.

You'll have the opportunity to learn more about the wider environment, as well as learn teamwork skills, make real decisions and accept real consequences, and gain self-confidence. You'll probably end up outside your comfort zone at times, but you'll be kept safe with training and supervision. The result will be experiences you'll remember forever—you won't regret a minute of it!

Gold Residential

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award Gold residential project requires you to engage with others who are not your usual companions and undertake a shared project away from home over a period of at least five days.

There can be a maximum of one other person you know on the course.

A Boyle Potential Leaders or ABL (Adventure Based Learning) course is a great way to complete this whilst also learning new skills and having heaps of fun. You could also take part in a Gateway course to fulfill the criteria. These courses will also give you the opportunity to achieve credits.
 

All you need to do is enrol on a course, bring your record book and meet the criteria during camp.
