Journeys is an outdoor adventure programme with no cost for Central Otago girls. We have a welcoming and supportive female only environment so that girls feel safe and can have a go at some new challenges.
Journeys runs for two hours one evening a week in local wild places on mountain bike and on foot, alongside inspiring wāhine and older girls. We can provide all equipment and outdoors clothing that is required. We have a summer 12 week Mountain Bike season, and a 12 week winter On Foot season. Additional opportunities such as Away Days in the holidays and overnight adventures are offered to our older teenage girls.
Bike to Explore uses mountain bikes to get places where we can then explore further, such as finding caves, scree running, and playing in our local wild places. We still teach beginner bike skills like gear changes and safe braking.
We focus more on mountain bike fundamental skills, starting with easy/beginner tracks and progressing as the whole group is ready, and will bike on a wide range of tracks of varying difficulties over the season, which take us into many different local wild places.
