Avondale College is fortunate in being able to offer to its students the opportunity to attend Taurewa, the school's Outdoor Education camp.
Taurewa Camp is situated on the edge of the Tongariro National Park, on State Highway 47 between National Park and Turangi.
Students are able to participate in a great variety of outdoor activities including tramping, caving, rafting on the Tongariro River, rock-climbing, kayaking, ropes course and many others depending on the form level.
The camp programme involves Years 10, 12 and 13. Each form class in Year 10 spends a week at the camp, accompanied by teachers and parents.
Accommodation is in heated two to six bedroom cabins, with excellent kitchen, hall, dining and other facilities. Students experience and enjoy physical and mental challenges not available to them in an urban environment. Their time at camp fosters personal development and support of others.
