Helping keep adventure alive - Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre 🌿

Coming towards the end of the year and it is amazing how many requests we have for camps or how schools and youth can be supported.

The cost of transport is one of the biggest issues right now with the cost of fuel. It is not getting cheaper.

Any amount donated to Boyle River can be directed by you to a specific cause such as a specific school attending camp or it goes towards keeping the lights on and the resources and safety up to date.

For nearly 50 years, Boyle River has given young people the chance to step outside their comfort zones, build resilience, and discover what they’re truly capable of. From challenging hikes, climbing and high ropes to confidence-building team experiences, this special place changes lives in ways that last far beyond camp.

We operate to make a difference. Every dollar we receive is carefully reinvested back into the Centre. Funds go directly toward essential transport and food costs, reducing the financial barriers for schools and families while making outdoor education accessible to more students as well as upgrading and maintaining our facilities, ensuring our equipment is safe and modern, and preserving the natural environment that makes these experiences possible.

Every contribution helps keep the spirit of adventure, growth, and connection thriving.

More about us

The Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre is operated by the not-for-profit North Canterbury Alpine Trust. Nestled between the Sylvia Tops and the Libretto mountain range in the Lewis Pass.
