Outdoor and Adventure Education, Wanaka, Otago Polytechnic

23/11/2025

After 25 years of adventures, challenges, achievements, and unforgettable people, the programme is coming to an end. Not by our choice — but that doesn’t stop us from honouring everything this community has built together.
Join us at Ground Up Brewing, Gordon Rd, Wanaka, this Friday, 28th at 5pm as we come together to celebrate the legacy, share some stories, and support one another through this final chapter.
It’s been an incredible journey, shaped by the passion and dedication of so many students, staff, instructors, whānau, and industry partners. Let’s raise a glass to all of it — and to each other. 🍻✨
Hope to see you there.
