School Leadership Programmes & Adventure Activities
At Action Matakana we believe in designing School Adventure Programmes and Outdoor Activity Courses to meet the requirements of each and every group.
The Action Matakana team are experts in running School Adventure Programmes and use puzzle challenges, construction activities, obstacle course and extensive team building expertise to challenge and encourage confidence in teenagers. We believe that effective teamwork is one of the core elements of a successful society, which is why our school programmes are designed for team training and coordination.
We will custom design a School Adventure Programme to suit your school group.
"Once again your facility has proven invaluable to our Physical Education program. The Year 13 students have really enjoyed the challenge of the Confidence Course and embraced everything that goes with it. They certainly have left each time with quite an adrenaline buzz about them. I really appreciate the efforts that you go to every year to ensure the success of this particular event. I look forward to doing it all again next year." - Kristin College

Prefect Training Course
Choose a 1-3 Day Course run at our base inside the Matakana Country Park, just 40 minutes North of Albany. Prefect Training is a time of intense activity where candidates are put through a series of mental and physical exercises to test their leadership ability and coping mechanisms under pressure.
