Last week Mark Mandeno from Adventure Works and Kate delivered an Inclusive Practices workshop at the NZOIA symposium.
They were also part of the team of experts that worked with Sport NZ, Recreation Aotearoa and EONZ to create a guidance that ensures disabled tamariki and rangatahi aren't missing out on the many benefits of being active outdoors.
The new guide supports outdoor providers and educators to make outdoor experiences more inclusive and accessible.
We are proud to be part of this initiative and to be working to improve inclusion and accessibility in the outdoor sctor in NZ.
Join us on a fun and fabulous Women Only Bush Walk along the Kahikatea Tree track in Pirongia Forest Park. This stunning walk takes you to the tallest native tree in New Zealand, an impressive 66.5metres tall.
Meet like-minded women and soak up the benefits of being in the great outdoors.
Bookings now open.
