Programme
This compact course is high energy with little downtime but still perfectly balanced for those looking for physical challenge and seeking a reflective experience. Like a condensed version of the Masters course, Discovery will challenge any self imposed limitations of your capabilities through a series of outdoor and personal reflection challenges. Over the eight day programme, you'll take on bush, water and height activities, utilising the bush, mountains and waterways of the Marlborough Sounds.
