Testimonials

  • Ellie - Year 7
    Westminster Christian School

    I absolutely loved my time at this camp! The scenery was stunning and I loved how it was so close to a beautiful waterfall. The instructors were awesome. They taught us how to make a raft, rescue someone hurt, climb all sorts of things and always believed we could do it. Thank you Kokako lodge for this amazing camp.

    All staff were friendly and approachable. They were knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. We were very pleased. The camp was very well planned and thought out. We had no concerns. The team building games, rock climbing and archery were highlights. Well run programme, making it stress free for teachers and parent helpers.

  • Tyne Wijdeven
    De La Salle College

    The staff and systems in place at that facility are amazing. Real friendly and professional that have a wide range of knowledge and abilities. Cannot talk any more highly about them. Will be returning next year. The programme is such an amazing way for students to achieve NCEA level 2 Credits.

  • Freya Bullock
    Aorere College

    It was cool seeing all the different students stepping up as all the activities were a range of levels of challenge and the staff encouraged our programme goals of motivation, communication and self-management.

  • Emily Hartwig
    Westminster Christian School

    Our time at Kokako Lodge was outstanding. The scenery is breathtaking, the glow worms not to miss, and the facilities impeccable. But our highlight was the support the instructors gave our students to push them out of their comfort zones. They encouraged students to climb one step further, go one step higher, think a little more outside the box and often to stop and listen to others! This allowed them to accomplish tasks and often complete an activity deemed too hard initially. The sense of accomplishment and pride the students gained will stick with them for life. Thank you!

    Kokako Lodge Instructors are very professional and having familiar faces each time we go is very helpful. There is clear communication on expectations throughout the day and a variety of activities. We loved it. Awesome experience.
