The Ahuroa site is approximately 70 km north of Auckland and 15 km inland from Puhoi. The College property comprises some 700 acres (mostly planted in pine trees), a dormitory building with kitchen, social and dining rooms, an adjacent ablution block and a separate farm house in which the Camp Manager, Mr Pancoust, lives with his family.
Each year students spend time at Ahuroa to develop outdoor skills and self awareness, including a better appreciation of the outdoors and the natural environment. The programme includes; bush and camp craft, tramping, abseiling, climbing (11 metre climbing wall) and shooting. During the course your son will maintain a log book which he will subsequently retain as a souvenir. You are encouraged to view the log book when your son returns from the camp.
Classes are supervised by Mr Pancoust, two Outdoor Education Instructors and a GAP tutor.
