Kayakers at the last Venture prepare to set out on their four-day expedition

 
Venture

Ventures see Venturers from across New Zealand, and some from overseas, join together to participate in a series of adventurous activities. 

Ventures are designed to challenge you both physically and emotionally, allowing you to develop new skills and to build new levels of self confidence.  But most of all they're a whole lot of fun!
