Programmes
The NZ Alpine Trust runs adventure camps near Queenstown at Coronet Peak and Kinloch, Glenorchy. The purpose of the camps are to inspire a love for NZ's alpine environment, build self-confidence, resilience, a sense of achievement, the chance for participants to learn about themselves, and be inspired about their future.
We work closely with schools to identify students who meet certain criteria and would otherwise not have this kind of opportunity.
