Raising money to help Waikowhai Intermediate kids experience Outdoor Education

Given by 7 generous donors in 24 days

I'm walking to inspire and raise money for the students at my school to attend school camp and experience the magic of the great outdoors.

Mount Roskill, Auckland

I am walking Te Araroa, the Long Pathway, 3,000km from Cape Reigna to Bluff. I've completed the North Island and will walk the South Island from mid February to mid April. I am having the most amazing time and I want the students where I teach to experience the magic of the outdoors as well. A new island and a new fundraising goal! I raised over $2,000 for last year's school camp, helping many students to attend, and want to aim higher this year.

Many of my students' families struggle to pay for the camp at Lake Karapiro that we attend every November. I would like to raise money early in the year to be able to subsidise the camp payment for those students that need help. This will maximise the chance for them to attend if they receive this help early. So please contribute and let others know too!

New Island, new goal!  10 February 2026

I’m starting my Te Araroa journey in the South Island, having completed 1,700km in the North Island) and the new school year has begun. I am opening a new round of fundraising to help students from my school get to camp later this year. Last year I raised money to help students attend, which was a great success.

Finlay Park Adventure Camp is a wonderful opportunity for our students. At 11 or 12 years old they benefit greatly from being challenged physically in the great outdoors. The cost of the camp is prohibitive for many families and I would love to help as many as I can get to camp.
