Scouts take a break from climbing and admire the beautiful snowy mountains

 
Mountaincraft School
September School Holidays

Our Mountaincraft School is a prime example of the overarching aim of our Adventure Schools - to get young people interacting with the great New Zealand outdoors.

SCOUTS New Zealand's Mount Ruapehu Lodge provided a base camp for Rovers and Venturers over 16 to learn mountaineering skills such as rock-climbing, and how to navigate a glacier using ropes. We were pleased to welcome an exchange Scout from Denmark. 

The heavy snowfall enabled the young people to work together to build a snow cave of gigantic proportions.

Cost: approx $450

Next School: Sunday 3 - Friday 8 October 2010
