The purpose of our Adventure Trip is to create a sense of exploration and excitement, by having the girls ride somewhere outside of the normal in a fun and safe environment. Our adventure trip will put the girls teamwork, leadership and confidence to the test in an engaging and enjoyable way. More information will be available about the adventure trip once the Roses are confirmed.
Trail Rose Camp will occur on 20th December till 22nd December. The Trail Rose Camp will be held at a holiday park in Rotorua and be based out of the Whakarewarewa Forest (Redwoods). Finer details will be confirmed in due course. But the camp will be the ultimate experience for the girls and solidify the achievement of Trail Rose objectives.
